SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario. You have a forest that includes multiple domains. One of the child domains does not include a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1)-based domain controller. When you install Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 in the root domain, the prerequisites-checking operation does not display an error. Exchange 2007 setup fails when the Setup program is preparing Active Directory for the installation of Exchange 2007.
CAUSE
The Exchange 2007 Setup program considers the system environment unsuitable when the Setup program cannot find a Windows Server 2003 SP1-based domain controller in the child domain.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, install a Windows Server 2003 SP1-based domain controller in the child domain.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
SUMMARY
When this problem occurs, the following error is logged in the ExchangeSetup.log file:
