Hi all, Well I've beaten myself up over this one and still can't solve it so I'll throw it open to the experts:
Scenario: Single domain forest in mixed mode. Existing single Win2k DC also running Ex2k. (Inbound mail is pulled by POP3 connector - popconn) Additional Win2k server installed, DCPromoed and then Ex2k installed. Both machines global cats in default-first-site site. AD integrated DNS - both machines Static IP No errors in logs other than usual (starting virtual servers etc after reboot) Replmon indicates no replication errors nltest, netdiag etc and replmon indicate no problems in name/single master resolution smtp responding on both machines on 25 Both servers are in a single routing group and are in mixed mode The only thing that I can see is not strictly correct is that the original Ex2k server has a disallowed _ in its name (server_01) All seems fine however the two Exchange servers do not seem to be able to communicate I first noticed this when setting up some public folder replication as a queue to server2.domain.com was filing up with messages from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] This messages would go to retry immediately. If a mailbox is moved to the new machine then when the client logs on the public folder hierachy is not sync'd and any PF's set for replication do not appear. The client is also unable to send mail to a mailbox on the other server with 'unable to carry out this request'. Another strange fact is that for some reason the mails in the queue to the other server eventually appear at the Internet smtp host and are collected by the pop3 connector and bought back in again - checked the smtp VS config and all seems fine. Any help on this one would be most gratefully received.
