Install error - can't find Exchange 5.5 object in LDAP (0X103FC93)

[cmillerl]

We have a W2K domain w/an Exchange 5.5 server. I'm in the process of migrating to Exchange 2003, which I'm installing on a W2003 member server. I've used the Exdeploy tool, and run through the ADC Tools setup. When I try to install 2003, I get the message:

Got error while attempting to bind 0X103FC93(64659) unable to find object

It's looking for an LDAP protocol object for my Exchange site and my Exchange 5.5 server, but isn't finding it. How can I check to make sure it exists? Can I use ADSI edit to check and, if so, how?

I reran the install using the netbios name instead of the FQDN for the Exchange 5.5 server, and got past this error message.

I have this same error but am unable to correct. Can you tell me further how you fixed it?

We have an exchange server (named exchange on a standalone nt4 box) and I put in "exchange" to join the site and it says it cannot find it. And as far as i know that is the netbios name. any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Found out that it was a DLL issue. The DLL's on the 5.5 server were running at 56bit encryption and the DLL's on the 2000 server were running at 128. Had to call microsoft for the updated 5.5 DLL's. That fixed the problem.
