After running Netmon it would appear that the problem is with the VPN config
Thanks all for the help -----Original Message----- From: Missy Koslosky [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 26 November 2001 13:48 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Re: Setup error : Check Knowledge Consistency A netmon trace to see what the server that is being installed is trying to do over the network would help you sort out exactly where this is failing. I'm pointing to the VPN as the problem because it has seemed to me that most installation issues are actually network problems.

Everything else seems to be working okay. It's a Sonicwall VPN -----Original Message----- From: Missy Koslosky [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 24 November 2001 18:14 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Re: Setup error : Check Knowledge Consistency I'd bet that the VPN is causing the errors.

Event Type: Warning Event Source: MSExchangeSetup Event Category: Replication Configuration Event ID: 2015 Date: 23/11/2001 Time: 09:27:10 User: N/A Computer: NEWEXCHSERV Description: An error occurred while preparing to update the replica of naming context '/o=Our Company Name/ou=OURDOMAIN/cn=Configuration' on server 'NEWEXCHSERV'. The replica will be updated on server 'NEWEXCHSERV' during the course of any normal replication updates. <<0xc1030b1c - There is currently no consistency between directories. On the DSA General property page, choose Check Knowledge Consistency.>> Setup is 4 servers connected via VPN, all Exchange 5.5, 2 SP3, 2 no sp's applied, have checked name res between servers, seems fine, have used Check Knowledge Consistency until no errors are reported on all servers, re-installed, and got same error. Subsequentley, none of the new services on the new server start 'cannot find file' Any advice appreciated Nik _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
