QuestionUnable to install Mailbox Role

    Hi All,

    I’m new to Exchange and trying to install E 2007 and couldn’t complete the installation successfully. Setup fails while installing mailbox role with a below message [mixed mode with E2K3SP2]. Any lead will be highly appreciated.

     

    Box1: W2K3 SP1, E2K3, DC

    Box 2[member of above DC]: W2K3 R2, .Net Framework 2.0, Powershell, E12 [partially installed except mailbox role]

     

    Unable to install Mailbox Role

    Failed

    Error:

    The Exchange server address list service failed to respond. This could be because of an address list or email address policy configuration error.

    Warning:

    An unexpected error has occurred and a Watson dump is being generated: The Exchange server address list service failed to respond. This could be because of an address list or email address policy configuration error. It was running command '$error.Clear(); $count=0; $ExchangeServers = Get-ExchangeServer -DomainController $RoleDomainController; foreach($server in $ExchangeServers) { if(($server.AdminDisplayVersion.Build -gt 641) -and ($server.IsMailboxServer -eq $true)) { $count++; } } if( $count -eq 1) { Set-OrganizationConfig -DomainController $RoleDomainController; }'.

    Thank you

    Yes, I have tested using nltest, netdiag and the results are good.

    I also installed Exchange BPAT 2.7 and receive no errors while I run a scan for E2007 readiness. Finally I have completed installation of other roles except mailbox role. Any help will be appreciated.

    Thanks

    I had the same problem. I deleted the own created "recipient policies" (not the DEFAULT POLICY) in Exchange 2003 Server. After this , i intalled the maibox role again - and now it works.
