That Is what will test of exchange can communicate.. what are you using for name reso;lutoin method?   -----Original Message----- From: Niki Blowfield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 24, 2001 8:57 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Netbios name resolves to domain name   Hi   We have an NT4 Domain, with one Exchange 5.5 server on the PDC.   I have attempted to install another Exchange server into the site, but the installation fails at the end, with an error asking me to check if the directory service is started.   The service is started, so upon investigation of technet, it mentions name resolution on the two servers.   I have checked, and when I ping the server name of the server I'm trying to install, it resolves it to a domain name. e.g.;   ping NEWEXCHSERVER   pinging NEWEXCHSERVER.CO.UK [201.167.xxx.xxx]   etc etc   Whereas, if I ping the other way, it works okay. e.g.   ping EXISTINGEXCSERVER   pinging EXISTINGEXCSERVER [192.168.2.25]   etc   I have entered the new server into the lmhosts file of the exchange server and rebooted, but no difference.   could this be the problem? if so, any ideas on a resolution   Nik http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm
