Thanks for the quick reply. I will give it a try. As the zAdd2Exchange account is already created, do I need to delete it and run the ore-installer again from scratch and specify a simple password?

No joy with simple password (5 alpha characters only , no numbers or special characters).  Same log.  Can you suggest anything else?

 

Thanks
