Well, after a crazy night, we finally got Exchange installed, but geez-louise, what a journey. If you weren't in class and are somehow interested in what happened, read on.
It all started with the same type of thing that happened in the Monday class -- students could start forestpreppping just fine, teacher could not. I have no idea why that was, it just was. I finally was able to do my forest and domain prepping, but after that, our domain controllers wouldn't replicate. Remember why?
Remember that server clocks have to match up exactly in order for replication to work properly. Knowing that, I was checking our time down in the system tray to make sure that the times were the same on computer one and two. Yep, both said 6:43 (or whatever).
After some headscratching and idea tossing with Brent, we checked the time zone of each computer and -- lo and behold -- each computer had differing time zones, which meant the times were really off by an entire hour. D'oh. Once that little error was fixed, replication occured and we were on our way. Ugh.
Finally, we got installed, and next week, we'll actually start using this blasted program.
Homework:
- I wouldn't feel right giving you guys homework just yet. So, I won't.
- Uh, YOU'RE WELCOME!
