Pre-Installed failing to create user

The preinstaller appears to be failing to actually create the user account.

I have tried different OUs. We only have one mailbox database.

Re: Pre-Installed failing to create user

I figured it out. The preinstaller program does not work with complex passwords.

The first passwords I tried had @ , $, !, or = in the password which was causing the user creation to fail.

Re: Pre-Installed failing to create user

Good to know, thank you

BTW, you also have to copy the files to the box, it will not run across from a UNC.
