Is your other server (the one that didn't fail) also a GC? You'll have all sorts of problems if you don't have a live GC anywhere on your network.

We have 2 AD servers in the same site and only 1 server has all FSMO roles (we havent gotten a chance to move them yet). For some reason when one of our DC's failed (the one with all the FSMO roles), our other DC did not accept incomming authentication request, directory lookups, or outlook clients logging into Exchange. I am trying to understand why this issue occurs when we have 2 dircetory servers and exchange is setup to use either of them. DNS is all setup correctly as well and resolves to both servers. I even checked the "_" directories under the main DNS and manually verified that all SRV records are in place. Can anyone render an explanation for this? Is it because one server has all the FSMO roles? If so, which roles should I transfer to the other servers? -Timothy _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
