Hi!
I am running two Windows 2000 Servers - W2KPROXY and W2KAD. W2KAD is
main domain controller, W2KPROXY is additional domain controller. I have
installed ISA Server 2004 on W2KPROXY and now I am trying to install
Exchange 2003 on W2KAD, but I have a problem during forest preparation.
Error message is:

==============
The component "Microsoft Exchange Forest Preparation" cannon be assigned
the action "ForestPrep" because:
- Either you do not have permission to update the Active Directory
schema or Active Directory service is currently too busy.
==============

What could be the problem? Remote Registry is running on both servers,
user is built-in Administrator.

Thanks!
