Exchange 2007 on 2008 Server; 8202 Error
I am trying to install Exchange 2007 SP1 on a 2008 server in a 2000/2003 domain environment. I get the 8202 error. Running the setup.com /preparead I get the following error in the Idif.err file:Entry DN: CN=ms-Exch-Resource-Schema,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=ntdomain,DC=localAdd error on entry starting on line 180: No Such AttributeThe server side error is: 0x57 The parameter is incorrect.The extended server error is:00000057: LdapErr: DSID-0C090C26, comment: Error in attribute conversion operation, data 0, v1771An error has occurred in the programWhen I use ADSIEdit to check "ms-ExchResource-Property-Schema" MayContain has a value of "msExchResourceLocationSchema". When I try and replace this value with the recomended "msExchResourcePropertySchema" I get:"Operatain failed. Error code: 0x57 the parameter is incorrect. 00000057:LdapErr: DSID-0C090A85, comment: Error in attribute conversion operation, data 0, veceI am getting no where on this. Another posting on this error has all the same suggestions. Anyone know what the correct value for MayContain is? Any ideas on where to go from here? My environment is as follows:1. 2000 exchange on 2000 DC (native) There ued to be NT boxes in this network, I upgraded the 2000 to native mode2. 2003 DC I added a 2003 DC where I ran all the SETUP.com /preparead etc. because I will be decomissioning the 2000 box after this transition3. 2008 server where 2007 Exchange will run This server is not local to the other servers but is at a remote location coomunicating through a VPN tunnel (Eventually it will be). I added the 2008 server to the domain and promoted it to a DC 4. other 2003 servers not in DC or Exchange rolesI had everthing fine, the best practices run on the 2003 etc. then promoted the 2008 box. I then ran the 2007 exchange install where the 8202 error came up. I followed the instructions in the MS article to use ADSIEdit to remove the DUP value and put in the "msExchResourcePropertySchema" value. That value generates an error. The "msExchResourceLocationSchema" is the current value.

Hi, It is a issue due to bad duplicate ldapdisplay name for the attribute "msExchResourcePropertySchema" which is in Schema partition. You can run Get-Resourceconfig domaincontroller [FQDN of DC] |fl to check the resource schema. Also, please check the schema version. You may verify the Active Directory verify the level of the schema by using the Adsiedit.exe or the "AD Explorer" to view the "objectVersion" attribute in the properties of the "CN=Schema, CN=Configuration, dc= <domain> partition". Then, please ensure Active Directory and Domains has been correctly prepared for Exchange 2007. 1. Please ensure that in each domain in which you will install Exchange 2007, (or will contain mail-enabled users), you have at least one domain controller that is running Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1). 2. You have the setup/PrepareLegacyExchangePermissions command in the root domain of the ActiveDirectory forest. Note: The command can be run on an intended Exchange2007 server or on an Exchange2007 administration workstation. Regardless of where you run the setup/PrepareLegacyExchangePermissions command, Setup must be able to communicate with an ActiveDirectory directory server that is running WindowsServer2003 with Service Pack 1 or later.

How to view and transfer FSMO roles in Windows Server 2003 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324801 Windows 2000 Active Directory FSMO roles http://support.microsoft.com/kb/197132 To track the progress of ActiveDirectory replication, you can use the ActiveDirectory Replication Monitor tool (replmon.exe), which is installed as part of the MicrosoftWindowsServer2003 Support Tools Setup. By default, it is located at "%programfiles%\support tools\." Add your domain controllers as monitored servers so that you can track the progress of replication throughout the domain.
