Update. It worked. I went through all the settings again. Double and triple checked. Everything was fine. Restarted the GC. Waited. Restarted the 2 DC. waited. Restarted Exchange. Waited. Still nothing. Let me try a test message to the test group allusers. Sent. Viewed message tracking. Says delivered. Looked at the storage group. They are all there. Hurray. Go figure. Must have been the RAW law.

My story was that I had installed the eval version of e2k. when we got ready to go w/ the full version, I uninstalled the old version from the test server and then tried to start from scratch on the new server we purchased. The install never would work. Ending up using ADSIEdit to remove all the Exchange attributes from AD and then Exchange installed. However when I created accounts, they never would show up in the ESM. After we rebooted both the Exchange server and our GC (also our only DC), everything worked as advertised. Only thing I could recommend is remove Exchange from server. There is an article in M$ Knowledgebase about removing exchange from server manually. Then you can installed ADSIEdit from the support directory on the Windows 2000 (prby available on w2k3 server cd as well) and remove the M$ Exchange from our container. If you have any questions let me know. I spent my $245 w/ M$ to find out that 5sec trick.
