Hi,
I've followed several technical articles but still don't have a resolution, the product is Exchange 2010. I have an existing Exchange 2003 which I need to upgrade. I have built three windows 2008 R2 servers, Patched and installed the prerequisites and have installed both the Hub/CAS roles without any issues. When I came to install the Mailbox role I'm getting:
Preparing Exchange Setup

The following error was generated when "$error.Clear(); $arbUsers = @(get-u
ser -Filter {lastname -eq "MSExchApproval 1f05a927-3be2-4fb9-aa03-b59fe3b56f4c"}

rbUsers[0].name; $mbxs = @( get-mailbox -arbitration -Filter {name -eq $mbxname}

ilboxDatabase -Server:$RoleFqdnOrName -DomainController $RoleDomainController);
if ($dbs.Length -ne 0) { enable-mailbox -Arbitration -identity $arbUsers[0] -dat
abase $dbs[0].Identity; } } }" was run: "No provisioning handler is installed.".
The Exchange Server setup operation did not complete. Visit
soft.com and enter the Error ID to find more information.
Exchange Server setup encountered an error.
I then attempted to run the prepare AD:
D:\>setup.com /preparead
Welcome to Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Unattended Setup

Mailbox Role

Setup encountered a problem while validating the state of Active Directory:
The Active Directory organization configuration version (13214) is higher than
Setup's version(12640). Therefore, PrepareAD can't be executed.
A Setup failure previously occurred while installing the Mailbox role. Eith
er run Setup again for just this role, or remove the role using Control Panel.
