Server: NT 4.0 (SP6a), Exchange 5.5 (SP4) with latest hotfixes. Tried to install the Mailbox Manager from both the SP3 and SP4 CDs and keep receiving an error saying that "Setup required an Administrator's Account" and than "Setup has failed. You can run the setup program at a later time to install the application again." I'm logging on as the domain admin and that account is the Service Account admin. The domain admin account is also the account that the Exchange services uses. Does anyone have any suggestions? I won't be able to migrate Exchange to a new server and Exchange 2003 for about another two months and need to clean out mailboxes and stop the Event ID 166 madness. Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions. Jim McGachey
You may need higher rights such ad the enterprise admin (maybe) What account is your 5.5 services tied to? When I inherited my exchange 5.5 server I had similar problems because the previous admin had ties the exchange services to his domanin user account Try shutting down all exchange 5.5 services and IIS then install again KP MCSE On Thu, 11 May 2006 15:09:44 -0400, Jim wrote: > Server: NT 4.0 (SP6a), Exchange 5.5 (SP4) with latest hotfixes. > > Tried to install the Mailbox Manager from both the SP3 and SP4 CDs and keep > receiving an error saying that "Setup required an Administrator's Account" > and than "Setup has failed.
