Domainprep multiple times is fine. Lack of a GC? Not good. Why not promote a DC to a GC and run domainprep again?
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Larry Wahlers Posted At: Wednesday, June 29, 2005 7:46 AM Posted To: swynk Conversation: OWA to different domain Subject: RE: OWA to different domain In the category of grasping at straws once again, here are two more things to consider in all this. 1. It is entirely likely that I ran domainprep in this second domain twice. Would that have caused problems, as in, created duplicate objects in AD? I've looked around in ADUC, but I don't see any duplicated objects in the domain, but: 2. I'm getting a rash of Event ID 8270 errors in the application log: Source: MSExchangeAL Category: LDAP Operations Type: Error LDAP returned the error [20] No Such Object when importing the transaction dn: <SID=0102000000000005200000002A020000> changetype: Modify member:add:<GUID=E9F54B80-1C33-48B1-AE1A-68C479C1E286> - DC=lhmnet,DC=ct,DC=local For more information, click http://www.microsoft.com/contentredirect.asp. So, I click on the link, and it gives me this for User Action: "Check for related events preceding or succeeding this event for information about which object is being acted on. Based on the error message, look for permissions problems, missing objects in Active Directory, duplicate objects in Active Directory, and so on. Ensure that the Exchange Domain Servers and Exchange Enterprise Servers groups are present in the Users container in Active Directory." One of the reasons I might have run DomainPrep a seond time is, a year or so ago when I installed my first Exchange 2003 server, I remember running DomainPrep while terminal serviced into a computer with the Exchange CD in a shared drive on another computer. It didn't seem to install correctly, and I ended up bothering this group with questions until somebody suggested a fix. I was concerned that I might have initially run DomainPrep in this second domain in the same way, so I re-ran it from the actual server with the CD in its drive, to be sure it installed correctly. But, I might have screwed things up. Did I mess things up by running DomainPrep twice? Is there any relationship between the error messages I'm getting and: 1. The lack of a GC in that domain, or 2.
