SUMMARY
=======

When you run the Microsoft Exchange Server Setup program, you may receive the
following error message:

  Processing file server.ins, at or near line 276

  No mapping between account names and security IDs was done.

  Microsoft Windows NT ID no: 0xc0020534

This error will occur if setup is unable to get the SID for the Microsoft
Exchange Service Account. Usually this means that the Windows NT Primary Domain
Controller was unavailable and setup was unable to contact any Backup Domain
Controllers.
