I've installed this app many times in many environments, and I SWEAR TO GOD each time I encounter some wacky error that requires all of my Google skills to resolve. I don't think I've ever had an E2k7 install go smoothly. Not even once...
Here were the new hurdles this last time:
1) Windows Server 2008 requires Exchange 2k7 SP1 (>5GB .iso, by the way, so start downloading a day or two in advance and pray it doesn't get corrupted during the process.)
2) Exchange 2k7 SP1 is NOT SUPPORTED on Windows Server 2008 R2... (I can't begin to understand the reasoning behind that, since R2 seems to be the version everyone gets.)
3) ADDS must be installed in Windows Server 2008 to avoid the puzzling "system cannot find the specified file" error. (Look in the exchange setup log for the details.)
Special thanks to the itowns blog for helping me through some of these problems.
If I think about it too much, I start crying.
