I am attmpting to install Exchange 2010 SP1 on a Windows 2008 SP2 server (evaluation version).
Domain controller is W2K3 SP2
Forest Functional Level is Windows 2003
No preexisting Exchange servers / infrastructure need to be taken into consideration. Everything was built from scratch (nothing before, brand new setup).
The only thing that might be original in my setup is that when I installed .NET 3.5 SP1, Office 2010 Filter pack and PS/WinRM 2.0, I also installed the Exchange patches as well (this was before running ServerManagerCMD -ip Exchange-Typical.xml).
Otherwise, pre-checks were OK.
Even so, installation of the CAS role fails with the error below. Since this is a brand new install, I can't imagine how the vdir got there (if the error message is indeed accurate).
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
