Ack... After several failed CCR installations, I've now gotten into a situation where I cannot install an active node... My only option on both nodes is to install a passive node, which subsequently fails because the active node doesn't exist... It's acting as if some vestige of the cluster is incorrectly reporting the presence of the active node, even though there's no AD object... Below are snippets from the ExchangeSetup.log (I can provide more if needed):

[5/22/2007 8:42:45 PM] [0] Setup version: 8.0.685.25.

do you currently have Exchange in production?

Have you checked in ESM to determine whether the 2K7 install created an object?

I've had to manually remove "SRVEMX2" from my Exchange2K3 ESM.

good luck!

Thanks for the advice... It turned out to be a RPC configuration issue... For firewall reasons, we had (over) constrained the number of TCP ports that were allocated to RPC functions. After changing the number of ports via RPCCFG to allow 100 TCP ports, everything went swimmingly.
