re: Update Rollup 1 for EBS 2008 and Updated Preparation and Planning Wizards are Released

Hi Team,

Thanks for your effort for designing the wonderful wizard. However, if there were anything wrong, we can't continue and the hard to get any support apart from Googling. Can you please also generate a migration guide exactly the same as what the Wizard will do for the unlucky users/administrators, so that we can trouble shoot and continue the installation if the Wizard failed.

For example, I successfully finished the Management and security server installation, but when installing Messaging server, when it did the dcpromo, it says my directory service restore mode password is very weak, but I didn't supply it during the installation and you r wizard didn't check it before hand, then it failed with error code 42, and I couldn't continue.

To try again, by deleting the partition on the Messaging server, then it went to the point joining domain, keeps saying EMAIL1 in the Active directory, then I use shift-F10 to rename machine to EMAIL1 from the random name, then restart, and still can't join domain, then shift-f10 again to do it manually. the wizard however let me through and checking environment.

but even though I change the restore mode password to a super complex one on the existing DC, still get the error 42 :

A delegation for this DNS server can not be created because the authorative parent zone cannot be found or it does not run Windows DNS server. To enable reliable DNS name resolution from outside the domain, .local, you should create a delegation to this DNS server manually in the parent zone. (How can I create a DNS server before the wizard finished?)

The directory server safe mode password does not meet the password complexity requirements of the password policy. Strong password requires a combination of upper case or lowercase letters, numbers and symbols. Supply a stronger password. (who supplied the password anyway?)

so I am totally stuck. can we carry on manually to finish off the exchange server setup without using the wizard?

Sincerely,

Benny
