I apologize profusely if this has been posted elsewhere; I'm not sure I did an exhaustive keyword search of the forums before posting - but then that would be because I don't have a good grasp on terminology for this segment of IT. In fact, I'm not really an IT guy - just a lone technical writer with enough knowledge of networking and personal computing to get himself deep in trouble with Zentyal. Normally I'd give up, but my company really needs to upgrade its local exchange caching server and I'm the only one with anywhere near the requisite knowledge at my company
Here's the problem - I can't for the LIFE of me figure out how to get Zentyal set up as an additional ADC/BDC. Every time I enter my information (FQDN, domain, etc), it eventually tells me that the AD I want to be an additional controller on is not compatible with Zentyal 4.2 because it has a forest level that needs to be at least Windows 2003.
OK, fine, I said to myself, and called up an external IT guy, who was able to confirm for me that yes, he could upgrade my forest to Windows 2003. He did so without issue, but I am still getting the error message. At this point I suspect it is because I am entering some information wrong about my network setup. Suspicion presently rests on the request for an administrator username and password - is this supposed to be the username and password I use to administrate the Zentyal box, or should it be identical with the username and password used on the PDC?
