SYMPTOMS
========

When you run the Microsoft Exchange Server Setup program, you will be prompted
to select the services account. When you select Browse, a dialog box opens with
all the accounts that are defined in your domain. You can select any account,
however, Microsoft Exchange should not allow the selection of the Domain Admins
group or any other group.


MORE INFORMATION

When the Microsoft Exchange Server Setup program finishes copying all the files
to your server and Setup is installing services and modifying the registry it
will attempt to start the Microsoft Exchange Service Attendant service. You then
receive an error message that the service did not start due to a logon failure.
After you click OK, another dialog box appears stating that the Account
information is incorrect. After you click OK again you are prompted to select
another account to be the services account. After you select another account
Setup continues and finishes successfully.
