Comes the news from Nasir Ali (Exchange Escalation Engineer, the poor bastard) that Exchange Server 2007 SP2 setup fails if all domain controllers are running Windows Server 2008 R2.
The error is as follows:
[ERROR] Cannot find at least one domain controller running Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 or later in domain ‘DC=DCName,DC=com,DC=DCName’. This could be the result of moving domain controller objects in Active Directory. Check that at least one domain controller running Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 or later is located in the ‘Domain Controllers’ organizational unit (OU) and rerun setup.
Grammatically, I would expect that reading “Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 or later” technically includes Windows Serfver 2008 R2. As a technician, this would drive me absolutely nuts.
Thanks goes to that beneficial giant of all things software, Microsoft, for once again exhibiting (my) truism that your left hand doesn’t necessarily need to know what your right is doing to still make oodles of money.
