SYMPTOMS
In Chapter 19, "Installing Exchange", of the Exchange 2000 Server documentation, the following step is listed under the procedure for running the domainprep command:

7. On the Recipient Update Server screen, type the name of the computer that will be your Exchange Recipient Update server for this domain. This computer must not be installed yet, but a computer account must exist in the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in.

This should actually read:

7. On the Recipient Update Server screen, type the name of the computer that will be your Exchange Recipient Update server for this domain. This computer need not be installed yet, but a computer account must exist in the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server.



MORE INFORMATION
When you run domainprep as part of Exchange 2000 installation, you need to have a computer account for the Exchange Recipient Update server in Active Directory. This computer does not need to physically exist at that time. It can be installed later.
