Hi, here is a problem I have been bashing my head with for about a week. I am transitioning to Exchange 2010 from 2003. I have two DC's running Windows Server 2003 Sp2, one of which is the Exchange 2003 server. I have just brought online a windows 2008R2 member server, which I am attempting to install exchange 2010 on. I get the following error message during installation.
Organization Preparation

Error:
The following error was generated when "$error.Clear(); install-ExchangeSchema -LdapFileName ($roleInstallPath + "Setup\Data\"+$RoleSchemaPrefix + "schema1.ldf")" was run: "There was an error while running 'ldifde.exe' to

And from the ldif.err:

The error code is 8224

Now I have checked dns, all is good. I can resolve the DC without issue.
I have done dcdiag and netdiag and passes all tests. I have even written a hosts file, all this to no avail.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
