I'm currently trying to install the schema on a Windows 2000 server 32 bits SPANISH version.
Im logged in as Administrator, I run scalixforestprep --install

I need the schema because I dont have other way to create a mailbox from active directory for a user already created. Is there another way? Is this happening because it is a Spanish Windows 2000 server?

Thanks in advance.

Actually, while the GUI module might have some dependencies on the OS language, the actual schema component shoudl not.

Are you sure that, when you execute the forestprep command, you're actually logged in as an admin with Schema Admin rights (this is higher than domain admin!).

also, can you check if the schema has been changed with the AD MMC Schema Edit plugin? Look for attributes/object classes that have names starting with Scalix.

Yes, I do have schema admin rights,

Under Attributes I see: 12 Scalix entries, (none of the properties are marked)
Under Classes I see: scalixuser and scalix group

Thanks in advance.

ok, so the schema stuff is indeed installed. what happens if you run the forestprep with --register?

Well, I think this gotta be a Scalix bug.
