The DC3 of second domain tree: Beta.COM has DNS. The Beta.COM zone is created on DC3 DNS. You want to install an exchange server 2003 in the member server of the Beta.COM domain tree. However, the error message pops up.
--setup encountered an error while trying to contact the Windows Active Directory.
How do you correct the problem?
The member server has its preferred DNS server set to DC3. When you install the Exchange Server, it must contact the Global Catalog Server. The DC3 does not host the GC. One way to solve the problem is to configure a secondary zone of VAN.COM in DNS of DC3.
