Has anyone encounterd this?
I've run Setup /PrepareSchema and Setup /PrepareAD on the DC in the site Exchange specified.
I have installed all of the Prereqs
Here's an example of my set up
One Forest
AwesomeCompany.net -
There's Two sites
Atlanta-HeadQuarters
Atlanta-DataCenter
and Two Sub Domains
HeadQuarters
DataCenter
Exchange Machine is in Atlanta-DataCenter Site and attached to DataCenter domain.
Exchange requested the /PrepareAD and /PrepareSchema be run on a Domain Controller in the root domain that is in site Atlanta-HeadQuarters.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
