The Microsoft® Exchange Server Analyzer Tool has determined that an Exchange organization has been installed in the Active Directory® directory service forest and that you were successful in accessing the Exchange organization configuration information in Active Directory. However, no administrative groups that contain Exchange servers were found.

To correct this error:

  • Verify that you have the appropriate permissions in Active Directory to access the container for Exchange administrative groups.

  • If the workstation from which you are running the Exchange Server Analyzer belongs to a different Active Directory forest, or you are not logged on with a domain account, you may have to connect to an Active Directory domain controller for a forest that hosts Exchange servers.
