Found the answer to this problem, just wanted to let you all know. My problem was that I was using an administrative account created for me, not the main domain admin account. My personal administrator account did not have Exchange Full Administrator rights for the Exchange Organization. You have to configure that from within the Exchange Administrator program. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;811816 Not my exact error message, but same cause and same solution.

I renamed the machine before joining it to the domain (was a fresh install on new hardware). Not sure how I should have things set in the DNS properties under TCP/IP. I have "Append primary and connection specific DNS suffixes" selected, and it's sub-item "Append parent suffixes of the primary DNS suffix" is checked. I *don't* have anything in the "DNS suffix for this connection" box, but then none of my servers (nor workstations) do anywhere on my network. The configuration under System Properties | Network Identification (Computer Name) can't be changed (or even accessed) now that the machine is a domain controller. Searched the registry and the old name wasn't found anywhere. Thanks for the help.

Is the old machine name still in AD anywhere? Do you have the server properties correct? (Domain configured in TCP/IP Properites DNS. and My Computer | Properites | Computer Name?) Have you searched the registry to see if the old name still shows up anywhere?
