Your install apparently had trouble extending the Active Directory schema. I suggest you try running setup /PrepareSchema on the server, or on your schema master domain controller then try rerunning the setup of the server. Perhaps you'll get better diagnostics why it's failing. You should not have to upgrade the functional level of your domain.-- Ed Crowley MVP"There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems.".

Troubleshooting: 1. Please check the error info in the ldif.err 2. Please run the following command on the exchange server NETDIAG /v >ExchNetDiag.txt 3. Please run the following command on the Exchange server where <DCNAME> is the NetBIOS name of a DC that exchange is connecting to DCDIAG /v /s:<DCNAME> >ExchDCDiag.txt 4. Please make sure both the above text files are error free 5. If there are errors, it has to be resolved before proceeding further 6. Check to see which DC has FSMO roles installed by running the following command after making sure the Windows 2003 support tools are installed NETDOM query FSMO 7. Please make sure that all the DCs from the above result are up and running 8. Please run the same commands on the DC that has the FSMO roles NETDIAG /v >DCNetDiag.txt DCDIAG /v >DCDCDiag.txt 9. Please make sure both the above text files are error free as well 10. If they have errors, please ask the question in windows server related forums to seek the advice 11. Proceed with the installation after the errors have been resolvedJames Luo TechNet Subscriber Support (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/ms788697.aspx) If you have any feedback on our support, please contact tngfb@microsoft.com
