Joining an existing site

[AIXUser53]

Hi Guys,

I am running a exchange 5.5 on windows NT and I need to add another exchange 5.5 server. I am trying to joing the new exchange server into the same site, but it will give me error message of connection could not be made to the site.

Do I need to setup any link on the first exchange server before the installation?????

Thanks in advance.

When installing Exchange on the new server, you should just have to type in the name of an Exchange server that already exists in your site and also the service account and password and the new server should join your existing site.

I did that, but it could not join it to the same site, the error message was that the connection could not be made.

I don't know then. Maybe try this article:
