SYMPTOMS
When you run Setup for the Exchange 2000 Active Directory Connector (ADC), Setup may not complete, and you may receive the following error message:

The group name could not be found.

Facility: Win32

ID no: c00708ac

Microsoft Active Directory Connector Setup

In addition, when you view the ADC Setup log, the following message is logged:

Error code 0xC00708AC (2220): The group name could not be found

You receive a similar error message when you set up the Microsoft Windows 2000 ADC.



CAUSE
This issue can occur if an account or group is named either &quot;Exchange Services&quot; or &quot;Exchange Admins.&quot; The ADC Setup program tries to create two groups called &quot;Exchange Admins&quot; and &quot;Exchange Services.&quot; When Setup attempts to create these groups, and finds that the names are already taken, Setup fails because it tries to add the Exchange Service account to a group that does not exist.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, rename the account or group that has either of the names described in the &quot;Cause&quot; section of this article, and then run ADC Setup again.

Additional query words: error 0xC00708AC exch2kp2w
