Hi there If I'm reading you correctly, this sounds like you should be looking at the SRS service. The reason the SRS exists is so that the 5.5 servers can "see" the 2000 servers.
Quick things to look at: Is SRS running? Is this a regular or cluster server? Hope this points you in the right direction Russell -----Original Message----- From: Leo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 04, 2002 8:21 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Need help, Exchange 2000 admin groups Thanks for the reply. I will try this between all servers. As I read the technet article Q272218 I can run Rpingc.exe from one server and rpings.exe from the other server to prove rpc connectivity. Just one question. Assuming our exchange 2000 server is called server2000 and our exchange 5.5 server that we selected to connect to is called server5. Along with this we have several other exchange 5.5 servers/sites. What is the communication flow? Is server5 solely responsible for replicating config data it gets from server2000 to other exchange 5.5 servers/5.5 sites in the org? In which case all we we require is clear communication between server2000 and server5. And clear communication between server5 to all other exchange 5.5 servers/5.5 sites. The reason I ask is that this is a new network and I don't think the other exchange 5.5 servers/5.5 sites can see server2000 but the can see server5 Regards Leo > Sounds like RPC connectivity problems.
