Exchange 2003 Server installation error. Help!
Hi, I am new to Exchange Server and AD and I need to set up a test environment in our lab. I have already installed the Exchange 2007 Server successfully on one machine (windows 2003 R2 64 bit). The AD is on the same machines with Exchange 2007. It's a domain controller. Now I need to install the Exchange 2003 Server on another machine (windows 2003 server 32 bit) in the same domain with Exchange 2007. While running setup.exe, the installation wizard stopped and displays an error message of Setup failed while installing sub-component Information Store Service with error code 0x80072030 (please consult the installation logs for a detailed description). You may cancel the installation or try the failed step again. Where are the installation logs? I tried the step several times and every time it pops up the same message. Can someone with more experiece tells me what went wrong? Thanks. JF

You can't install exchange 03 into an exchange 07 environment.
Start over doing 03 first.

to be more specific, you can't install exchange 03 into an exchange 07 org/forest UNLESS your installing an additional exchange 03 server, and you had 03 up and running before 07.
Wipe the DC's and follow the 03 install guide from there
