Silly question...is your computer joined to the domain and you are looging in with a domain account? Follow this step-by-step link, make sure all the pre-reqs get installed: http://www.msexchange.org/articles_tutorials/exchange-server-2007/management-administration/managing-exchange-server-2007-using-windows-xp-workstation.html http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232090(EXCHG.80).aspx Tim Harrington - Catapult Systems - http://HowDoUC.blogspot.com

Silly answer , for this any one uses the posting technet forums? Here is my error message Setup encountered a problem while validating the state of Active Directory: Exchange organization-level objects have not been created, and setup cannot create them because the local computer is not in the same domain and site as the schema master. Run setup with the /prepareAD parameter on a computer in the domain xyz and site abcdsite, and wait for replication to complete. im trying to install EMC in child domain , where exchange servers are installed and schema master in root domain.

Ditto. Also, You state that Exchange 2007 is already installed, but that you are installing the SP1 tools. Is the environment also at SP1 (RTM-->SP1 has schema changes too)? Mike Crowley Check out My Blog!
