Exchange will run Forestprep during the installation, but it is preferred to do it beforehand. Unless you will have a seperate domain, which contains no E2K servers, only users requiring mailboxes are you needed to run domainprep. Otherwise, you can get by only running ForestPrep. Forestprep includes running Domainprep. Are you viewing AD Users and Computers in the Exchange Menu or in Admin Tools?? After installing E2K, the AD Users and Computers MMC is customized for the extra Exchange attributes and tasks. The one in Admin Tools needs have the columns added to mirror the other. You should still see Exchange Tasks though. Check the schema to see if the E2K classes and attributes were added successfully. To launch the Schema MMC, you need to register a .dll. Run 'regsvr32 schmmgt.dll', then you can load the console and view the schema.

After the installation of the exchange server the properties of the user in the active directory was not changed. There is supposed to be some extra tabs in the properties of each user as the schema is changed by the installation of the exchange 2000. ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: kaptinkirk@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub') ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: jasonb54@xxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub') ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Get more from the Web.
