Setup encountered a problem while validating the state of Active Directory: could not find Active Directory site to which this server belongs.
The environment is as follows;
We a main domain (maindomain1.net and several child domains in a multiple remote site) Where I need to install exchange the site has a DC that is part of "child.maindomain1.net". We don't have a DC located to the site that is part of maindomain1.net
Now the challenge I'm facing is exchange server won't install it needs the DC that is joined to maindomain1.net I'm getting a similar error even when I'm trying to install via CMD and specify the DC to be used during installation but still failing to install. Please if some out there can please point me to correct solution to correct this and get the server installed. I would appreciate your assistance.
