Hi Colin, Can you tell me if your AD Schema Master is also a GC, or is it only a DC? Also, do you know if you have any problems with any of your directory servers (e.g., DNS, LDAP, or other issues)?

everything is installed on the same machine.

Sounds like double-checking the TCP/IP settings (particularly DNS) on this system is in order. If that is incorrect, even setup in a single server environment might encounter problems. Please examine the output of IPConfig /all and make sure everything is correct.

Hi i have this error too. dns check seems to be ok anything else to check ? is this error prevents to install exchange ? i am trying to install exchange 2007 in a virtual environment. thanks
