Hi, Sure this can be done. Run Exchange setup /forestprep in the root domain and /domainprep in the child domain and you should be able to install. If not please post what happens when you try.

Hi Leif, I am talking about a domain tree with leaving the root of the forest/domain empty and setting up the 1st exchange sever in the domain tree that was created. thanks Patti "Leif Pedersen [MVP]" wrote: > Hi, > > Sure this can be done. > > Run Exchange setup /forestprep in the root domain and /domainprep in the > child domain and you should be able to install. > > If not please post what happens when you try. > > Leif > > "Patti" wrote in message > news:DFC8D5BA-9F0D-40E2-9B6B-BA9B578A6B23@microsoft.com... > > Hi, > > I need some help!

Hi, Yes, I understand. You must still extend the schema with exchange attributes in the root domain by running /forestprep.
