XADM: Setup Displays Remote Server Does Not Respond Error

ID: Q147052

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Server, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you have nearly finished installing Microsoft Exchange Server, you might see the following error message:

While processing file 'server.ins' at or near line 369, the remote server did not respond.

MSExchange Directory ID no:

DS_E_COMMUNICATIONS_PROBLEM.

CAUSE

There might be a latency issue with the Microsoft Exchange Directory service when you install Microsoft Exchange Server. After the call to ServerInstall(), it attempts to perform a bind immediately. This can produce a communications failure.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, slow down the Microsoft Exchange Server Setup program by lowering foreground priority and running other CPU or I/O bound applications while you are installing the Microsoft Exchange Server.
