For the last 3 weeks or so all of my clients (ranging through Outlook 2000, XP, and 2003) have started noticing frequent dialog boxes indicating that their client is waiting for the exchange server, synchronizing with the exchange server, or just in general unable to communicate with the exchange server.
I can't find any problems with the network itself. The Exchange server is a Dell 2650 Dual processor 2.0 GHz Xeon, Ample space available on boot, log, and store drives, 1Gb RAM. The server is in a Mixed Mode 5.5 admin group and we use Trend AV for Exchange. This server services approximately 500 mailboxes and has 1 Mail store (approx 17 GB, Exchange 2K SP4 Enterprise) 1 public store les than 5 GB. The OS is Win2K SP4 with all hotfixes applied to OS and Exchange. There is a single 5.5 server in the Admin group as well but it doesn't host any mailboxes. This site has connectors to our parent organization, but all the mailboxes are servicing accounts within our local AD subdomain of the Parent forest. We don't have any errors showing up in event viewer, and the only warnings are related to incoming replication of public folder data from our parent's Exchange 5.5 server. Anyone have any tried and true techniques for troubleshooting this type of problem? I have tried changing the ExchangeProvider/RPC_Binding_Order registry Key on some of the clients to "ncalrpc,ncacn_ip_tcp" or reversing those entries to no avail. ________________________________ 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 PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
