MtaBindBack over RPC failure usually means that the other server can't resolve the caller's name to an IP address. This could be a DNS or a WINS problem.
Also I have seen a case when Windows NT servers have a difficult time resolving the calling server's fully qualified domain name when the calling server is a Windows 2000 server. The 2000 server says "I am serverA.domain.com and my IP address is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx". The NT server uses NetBIOS and tries to find the serverA.domain.com name in WINS but can't (because WINS only contains the short NetBIOS names). The NT server says "screw you I don't know you" and disconnects with the RPC BindBack error. One way to solve that would be to make sure that the NT server can talk to a DNS server so that it could resolve the fully qualified domain name of the calling 2000 server. Another way would be to use a HOSTS file on the NT server and specify the IP address and name of the 2000 server. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Cooke Sent: Thursday, April 08, 2004 4:59 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Exchange 2003 locks up with RPC Errors Below are the events that are occuring at the same time as the slowdowns and lock out issues. I have a feeling it's an external DNS issue in the network properties. I've just removed them from the box and flushed and renewed the DNS. So it's wait and see time.
