Exchange Discussion List: Hi all. I've been off the list for over a year now (like anyone remembers me ;-)) and I've recently converted the Netware network I've been managing to all Windows 2000/Active Directory... I used the Services for Netware migration to assist in the process. The domain conversion and install went very smoothly but the Exchange 2000 server we installed has been throwing fits from day 1. After spending a whole week of battling it I finally realized the stupidity of my stubbornness and decided it was time to see the experts... I'm sure someone here has run into this... Here's my configuration. Exchange 2000 SP1 on a Windows 2000 (NON-advanced) server with SP2. Compaq ML530 with latest network driver On a TCP/IP network with 5 other 2000 servers. (3 terminal server, 1 Websense, 1 PDC) The PDC has the GC, DHCP and DNS services active and working. The websense is a BDC No NT4.0 at all. VPN to remote network with 3 2000 servers there. All DC's one is a GC Approximately 2000 accounts. The obvious problems it has, is some user can connect with Outlook other can't. They receive a "name cannot be resolved" error when trying. POP3 and web access works for ever account. Not so obvious client observations are that the global address list doesn't always show up at the client. At the server it gets deeper. No names show up in any of the address list (global or otherwise) under recipients. If you do a properties/preview on the global address list it will show users. But they aren't there otherwise. The server randomly goes through periods of slamming the event log with errors (during which time its goes down and needs to be restarted) I assume this coincides with the RUS but haven't been able to confirm. I have selected for force the RUS and haven' been able to make the errors occur. These errors resemble this. Event ID 2075 Source MSExchangeDSAccess Process INETINFO.EXE (PID=1080), DsBind failed. Athensasd.k12.pa.us. hr=0x8007054b, deltaT=47 the operation will be retried. It also dumps a similar error for STORE.EXE and EMSMTA.EXE. there is also a MAD.EXE with an event of 2064 and message of "all the remote DS servers in user are not responding" We had original install errors with RPC errors and the like. I fixed these with the new ML530 NIC driver and changes to the DC's and other servers on the network. The server has been wiped and reloaded from scratch at least twice and we've checked and rechecked our work. Poured over support and technet for hours on end. Does anyone have any ideas of where to go from here? Seen this before?
