Hi,
Is it true that we shouldn't run dcpromo when exchange 2003 is installed in a domain controller ?
I had a problem with the DC..so I dcpromo-ed it and then rebuild it from the beginning.
Now I can't start the services needed by exchange. Not sure when dcpromo is the root of the problem, but I can't start any services (not only those needed by exchange).
It tried to start the service...i could see the progress bar...but after waiting for quite a long time, it failed with the following error:
error 1053: the service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion
I googled and found this link: http://www.jsiinc.com/SUBI/tip4400/rh4493.htm
The symptomps described quite match my situation (Internet Connection Wizard hangs & I couldn't see the properties of the adapter) but unfortunately the cause of problem doesn't. The logical disk manager administrative service is set to manual and the dmadmin registry contains the appropriate value...
I wonder wether the following error about ntfrs found in event viewer might be the cause of the above problem:
The file replication service has detected that the replica root path has changed from "C:\WINNT\SYSVOL\DOMAIN" to "C:\WINNT\SYSVOL\DOMAIN" If this is an intentional move then a file with the name NTFRS_CMD_FILE_MOVE_ROOT needs to be created under the new root path. This was detected for the following replica set "DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)"
Is the above error critical for the operation of active directory and exchange server ?
I found the following link http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;819268 which is similar to my problem, but I'm not sure whether it's the right solution since the path mentioned is "C:\bin" not "C:\WINNT\SYSVOL\DOMAIN"
Should I reinstall exchange on the win2k server ?
I'll really appreciate any inputs...
Thanks,
lara
