First a quick question, which of your DC's was also a GC ??
A1 Install Exchange tools on your DC's
A2 The Exchange DS Access process will tend not to use the first DC but
the second and third if available
A3 Before installing the second DC you could re-assign all the FSMO
roles back to you to your 1st DC, but
when I have had similar problems, the systems sorted themselves out
in the end, just had to give them time !
And yes no DC\GC then Exchange doesn't work

Subject: Help Ex2k member and 2 DC's (2nd DC down )
Hi
Question 1 : I have 2 DCs with Ex 2k on a 3rd server (member)
When using AD User and Computer on the 2 DC's and looking at the user
properties, we don't see the exchange options (tabs) or Exchange Task
When using AD user and computer on the Ex2K server, the user properties
has the Exchange tabs, and Exchange Task (righ clicking on the user) is
there
Why ?
Question 2 :
Why does my exchange 2000 server (Member server) was having problem when
my 2nd DC died ? In the Event viewer, the exchange server was trying to
talk the the second dc everytime I was trying to address an eMail to
someone. I was expecting him to talk to the 1st DC that was still there.
QUESTION 3 :
My second DC just died and Ex 2k server seem to try to talk to DC 2..
When creating user, the smtp address [EMAIL PROTECTED] does not
appear...IS it beacause of lack of communication between the ex2k server
and the second DC he is trying to reach (event viewer error on trying to
contact the dead DC. That was the second DC in the AD )
I have reinstalled a W2K machine as a server, did a DC promo and made it
again the 2nd DC's. Is it ok ? I have been told by MS that when adding
a 2nd DC to an AD that the SchemaMaster role is beeing magically
transfered to the 2nd DC. Then if my 2DC died, and was replace with a
brand new 2nd DC' then the ScheMaster role is may be not anywhere ?
