This section discusses top issues to consider when installing Exchange on Windows 2000.

Running Setup

q Windows 2000 Terminal Services is a part of Windows 2000. If the service is enabled, you must run setup by using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel This puts the server in installation mode.

q When running Exchange setup for the first time, Windows 2000 may warn you that the application may not be compatible. It is safe to ignore the message and continue Exchange setup. This happens because SP3 is not installed yet.

Security and Accounts

q Ensure that the service account you are using for Exchange is a member of your local administrator group or at least a member of the Power Users group on the local computer.

q Ensure that you are logged on to the domain from the server on which you are running setup.
