I am attempting to setup a Exchange 2007 journal recipient for our Exchange 2007 mailbox databases on our Exchange 2003 mailbox servers. this is required as per Microsoft when using Journaling in a mixed environment (Exchange 2007-Exchange 2003). When I attempt to set the Exchange 2003 mailbox as the journal recipient I can browse and see the mailbox account and select it but when I apply the change I get a error message stating the account "cannot be found". The Exchange 2003 Mailbox server reside in a different Active Directory domain from the Exchange 2007 Mailbox servers. Both domains are in the same Forest and we are running Windows 2003 SP2 for our Active Diretory. Any ideas on what permissions I may be missing or is there a way to define the scope during the selection of the journal recipient mailbox?Thanks,

try running Domainprep using E2K3 Setup on the E2K7 domain. Setup /domainprepTry Running Preparedomain using E2K7 Setup on the E2K3 domain setup.com /preparedomainAlso run setup /preparealldomains in the root domain

Hi, Has anyone made any progress with this I am having the exact same issues as champton66? Would be very grateful for an update. I have verified the recipient scope. Thanks MCITP: Microsoft Exchange Server 2007/2010 | MCSE/MCP

OK I fixed this by forcing the EMC in Exchange 2007 to use a configuration domain controller which matches that used on the Exchange 2003 RUS. Once I did this I could select the mailbox without an issue.MCITP: Microsoft Exchange Server 2007/2010 | MCSE/MCP
