Its in the same site and domain as the exchange server. I did notice that there isn't an _gc dns record for the server even though it claims, and other utilities recognize it as a GC. Exchange simply won't recognize it as a GC (or a DC for that matter).
I turned up logging on DS and I can see it listed as a valid DS, but it won't list in Exchange's DS drop down server lists. If I put it in manually and force it to use it Exchange gets a little Pissed off and won't allow MAPI clients to work appropriately. I'm currently trying to figure out why the GC didn't register itself in dns as a _gc all its other records where registered. I manually created a _gc service location record for it in the site it is associated with, but that didn't make any difference.

Any suggestions as to why Exchange 2000 might not see a valid local GC when it exists? I have tried to manually set it to a separate GC so that I can rebuild the original one, but Outlook goes nuts and it can't seem to see the GC, and when it is set for Auto it never shows up in the list. I'm assuming this is probably an AD problem, but as all the AD tools report it as a valid GC for my domain I don't understand why Exchange can't use it. Any suggestions of something else to check/test? ________________________________ Bob Reasoner Harris County Public Health & Environmental Services _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang =english To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
