Hi David, When you run exchange 2010 setup it's create arbitration and federated mailbox for system purpose use. Its got create when it fails. You can go into ADSIEdit and remove these mailbox and rerun setup. Please see below KB's in detail. When you try to install the Exchange Server 2010 Mailbox role, the installation process fails : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978776 http://blogs.nelite.com/blogs/yvarloud/archive/2009/12/06/exchange-server-2010-installation-troubleshooting.aspx Anil
