These servers are in different routing groups? If so, ensure that you have a routing group connector between them that doesn't go through the SMTP gateway.
Do you have any firewalls between your System Manager instance and the server you're trying to manage? Right-click "Public Folders" in ESM and be sure that you're connected to a server with a valid public store. Is the public store mounted? Ed Crowley MCSE+Internet MVP Freelance E-Mail Philosopher Protecting the world from PSTs and Bricked Backups!T -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim Harper Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2005 3:16 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Internal Mail treated as Outbound I just installed our first E2K3 back-end server. There is an E2K3 front-end, and two existing E2K back-end servers. This is not yet a production box and I got stuck while attempting to create public folder replicas. I noticed that I could not connect to the public folder tree in E2K3 System Manager - "an existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host" - nor select the E2K3 server and initiate replication - "the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service could not find the specified object". After looking at a lot of things that did not help I was able to track replication messages between the servers. What I discovered was that messages from the E2K3 server, and messages to the E2K3 server, are being treated as outbound and sent to our SMTP gateway box. Not only is that wrong, but the configuration of that box prevents them from being redirected to the correct internal destination. I have verified the public store smtp address through ADSI Edit, and used the policytest utility to check for Group Policy issues. Since I moved the server to a different OU after installing E2K3 I removed it from the Exchange Domain Servers group, added it back, and restarted Exchange services. All the SMTP and routing configuration looks just like the other Exchange boxes, which has never been a problem. I have not been able to find anything that would explain this routing. Anyone have a clue? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
