I use the free tool from Microsoft to configure the Exchange server called "modprof.exe". It auto-configures their exchange server for them when they first login to our Citrix servers.

Morning all! Is there a way I can setup outlook (Exchange server name, View style etc.) automatically when the new user logs in on 2000 or XP. I am thinking that there must be some way to utilize group policy for this. Any help? John Parker, MCSE IS Admin. Senior Technical Specialist Alpha Display Systems.

I found that this will prevent the island effect. -----Original Message----- From: Mulnick, Al [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2003 9:07 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] AD replication, RPC server unavailable Nice thing about netdiag is that you can run it with the /fix switch and often get some good results :) One thing to remember is the idea of the "island" effect. When first configuring your DC, be sure the primary DNS server is one of your other DC's until replication finishes. You also want to be sure that on promotion, that DCPROMO puts the DNS records in their place, meaning that DNS allows dynamic updates for that zone and that you have a reverse zone in place prior (not really necessary, but much neater).

Al -----Original Message----- From: Bruce Clingaman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 15, 2003 5:17 PM To: ActiveDir (E-mail) Subject: [ActiveDir] AD replication, RPC server unavailable I just added a third DC to my domain. The Sysvol would not replicate to DC3 until after I manually added an A record in the DNS. In sites and services on DC3, I initiate replication from DC1 and 2 to DC3, it gives "The following error occured when trying to contact the domain controller DC3: the RPC server is unavailable." DC3 cannot contact DC3. DC3 dns settings look right to me. All DCs point to DC1 as primary. Also, in the AD | FRS | Domain Sysvol, DC3 does not appear in the list. Events: FRS- 13516,13509,13562,13508 DNS- 6702 What do I need to check next? thanks.
