SYMPTOMS
When you run the Microsoft Exchange Server Setup program, you will be
prompted to select the services account. When you select Browse, a dialog
box opens with all the accounts that are defined in your domain. You
can select any account, however, Microsoft Exchange should not allow the
selection of the Domain Admins group or any other group.
MORE INFORMATION
When the Microsoft Exchange Server Setup program finishes copying all the
files to your server and Setup is installing services and modifying the
registry it will attempt to start the Microsoft Exchange Service Attendant
service. You then receive an error message that the service did not start
due to a logon failure. After you click OK, another dialog box appears
stating that the Account information is incorrect. After you click OK again
you are prompted to select another account to be the services account.
After you select another account Setup continues and finishes successfully.
