Configuration Failed

Cause:

This error occurs if the product is installed outside the Exchange forest. Hence even after providing credentials with right privilege, Default Domain Controller policy will fail to configure automatically.

Resolution:

Under such scenario, Default Domain Controller Policy should be configured manually.

• Log on to the domain controller using an administrative account.
• If Windows 2008, open Group Policy Management from Start → Administrative tools.
• If Windows 2003, select Default Domain Controller Security Settings from Start → Administrative tools.
• Navigate to ForestName → Domains → DomainName → Group Policy Objects → Default Domain Controller Policy and right click to Edit it.
• Navigate to Computer Configuration → Policies → Windows Settings → Security Settings → Local Policies.
• Select Audit Policy.
• In the right pane, double click the following policies and enable "Success" and "Failure" settings.
  • Audit directory service access
  • Audit object access.
• Click Ok.
