Solved Exchange 2010 install on Server 2008R2, "Active active directory Directory does not exist or cannot be contacted" Posted on 2010-05-07 Exchange Active Directory 1 Verified Solution 8 Comments 8,451 Views Last Modified: 2012-05-09 I set up two Server 2008 R2 x64 servers for an AD and Exchange 2010 install, created the AD environment and then went to install exchange 2010 on the other server. When doing the prerequisite check, I get active directory does the following message I pasted below. I have since installed the 2007 converter pack on both servers. I did go into users and computers and tried to add the domain IDs to the local admin group and can't seem to reach out to pull them in. I did add the server to the domain successfully. But, I'm thinking currently it may be something in the way I set up the AD server. Thanks! Summary: 4 item(s). 1 succeeded, 3 failed.

PrepareAD will also prepare the root domain so you will not be required to run the /PrepareDomain switch. However, if you had child domains and you will be installing the Exchange Server on one of those, you will need to do the PrepareDomain switch or while at the root domain, you can do Setup /PrepareDomain "DomainName" where DomainName is the name of the domain you need to prepare.
