Step 4. Reboot the Server

Now Prerequisites Installed successfully

Step 5.

Now open Command Prompt “Browse the Command prompt into the setup location”

and Run

setup /PrepareLegacyExchangePermissions or setup /pl

We run this as we prepare the legacy (Exchange 2003) Server permissions,

Running this command won’t harm your environment .

Befor Running this command make sure your Domain Function Level and Forest Functional level in Windows Server 2003 is in native mode and your Exchange 2003 is in native mode,

Otherwise , It won’t allow you to install Exchange 2010
