The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Exchange Server, version 4.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you have nearly finished installing Microsoft Exchange Server, you might
see the following error message:

  While processing file 'server.ins' at or near line 369, the remote server did
  not respond.

  MSExchange Directory ID no:

  DS_E_COMMUNICATIONS_PROBLEM.

CAUSE
=====

There might be a latency issue with the Microsoft Exchange Directory service
when you install Microsoft Exchange Server. After the call to ServerInstall(),
it attempts to perform a bind immediately. This can produce a communications
failure.

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this problem, slow down the Microsoft Exchange Server Setup
program by lowering foreground priority and running other CPU or I/O bound
applications while you are installing the Microsoft Exchange Server.
