E2k Management Tools on Win2k Pro

[keithmyers]

Help please! I am trying to install the Exchange 2000 Management tools on a Win2k pro box. I get to the point in the install where it asks you to choose which components you want. If I select either typical or minimum from the Action drop down, I receive the following error:

--- Setup encountered an error while checking prerequisites for the component "Microsoft Exchange 2000": 0X80072030 (8240): There is no such object on the server ---

If I select Custom, I receive the following:

--- Microsoft Exchange 2000 has an unknown installation problem. ---

I am unable to select an action next to "Microsoft Exchange System Management Tools". It says "Before this component can be modified, all parent components must have an action selected".

I have installed the management piece before on a 2k Pro box with no problem.... Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

I still haven't figured this one out!

Here's the resolution to this if anyone is interested:

I had moved the Exchange Domain Servers group and the Exchange Enterprise Servers group out of the default user container. When I ran setup on the remote admin PC, setup looked for these two groups. Setup did not see them in the default user container and assumed that they did not exist. I moved both groups back to the default user container, ran setup again and it worked.
