Symptoms

When you run the Microsoft Exchange Server Setup program on Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Terminal Server Edition after logging on from a local account, you may receive the following error message:
This computer must belong to a Windows NT domain before Microsoft Exchange can be installed.
The computer is already a member of the domain, and it is properly configured to communicate on your local area network.

You may also receive this error message when you use a local account to install Exchange Server on a computer running Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0.
