RE: Error 1018

[Lynn Karen]

We had this recently (started after a hardware change), and did exactly what you sound as if you're planning on doing: added second server to site, moved mailboxes, PFs, connectors etc.  Removed original server (see relevant Q article that I can't remember the no. of at the mo. & am just off home so too lazy to check!), let hardware support co. sort problem on original server.  Added repaired original server back (actually it wasn't, it was a new server they gave us 'cos they couldn't find a problem with the other !), moved everything back, removed our spare server from the site as before.   Worked fine: no data loss, minimal user disruption - excellent!   Karen  -----Original Message----- From: Jamie Domingue [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 18 January 2002 16:51 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Error 1018 While checking the event logs on the Exchange server I found several 1018 errors.  I have convinced management to get another server here so I can move all of our mailboxes to it.  This will allow extensive testing of the problematic server.  I understand that this is likely caused by a hardware problem but I would like any advice any of you may have on this problem.   Server is a Dell 2550 Dual P3 1 Gig of Ram 4 36 Gig Hard drives (Raid 5) Windows 2000 Sp2 Exchange 5.5 SP4 Trend Micro Scan Mail 3.5   Thanks in advance   Jamie Domingue System Integrator II Global Data Systems [EMAIL PROTECTED]   List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
