Hi Clint,

Given your situation and the complexity of your environment, I'd honestly go
ahead and give MS PSS a call (FAQ).  They'll be able to provide you the best
support and it's well worth $200 or so.

good luck. Byron

Subject:        Exchange 2000 install in new Win 2000 domain problems...

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?

Thanks
