This is a problem I had at my previous employer, and I got around it by temporarily removing DNS
whilst joining the site, this isnt working here
We have 2 Exchange Servers on our private LAN. One has mailboxes, one has IMC. Both Exch 5.5 SP4
Running on NT4 SP6a with only TCP/IP installed
Both point to DNS and WINS servers on the same LAN address range
There are no problems communicating between the 2 servers
However, when attempting to join a 3rd server to the site, it fails at the point of running setup where it
starts to make a copy of the directory, saying;
"A connection could not be made to the remote directory service, possibly due to a network failure.
Be sure both directory services are running and that your network is available and running and then
try again.
Microsoft Exchange Setup Error: c1030b11 "
I've gone through the technet docs ensuring as best I can that comms are ok. Ping is fine, and I'm able
to browse each server fine
However, running RPCPing fails
When running RPCPing32 from the new server (MBEXCH3) to an existing one (MBEXCH2) it fails and reports;
RPC call raised exception 0x6ba - The server is unavailable
RPC service is running on all servers
Cant find any documentation on troubleshooting RPC Ping errors
help !!!!!!!!!!!!!
