If this is your first time using Add2Exchange or you are upgrading or migrating, post here.
The preinstaller appears to be failing to actually create the user account.
I have tried different OUs. We only have one mailbox database.

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