Dennis, On 2000/2003 installs I generally have my RUS use a DC that is a GC. If you go to ESM -> Recipients -> recipient update services and right click on your domain there. Verify that the DC listed is still active and is a GC.
I dont know about your environment, but I doubt the workload on the DC/GCs are so high that they are unable to process requests and thus cause Exch to throw errors. Not impossible, just highly unlikely. (unless perhaps you are in a SBS environment or one of those shops that thinks user services should be running on DCs). Let us know how it looks tomorrow and if the errors come back. -troy From: Dennis Rogov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 01, 2008 8:16 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: exchange 2003 issue Nope they haven't how do I verify this The errors stopped coming up at 1;00 am and have not returned. it could be that there is workload on the server as we are In off hours right now Dr -----Original Message----- From: Troy Meyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: NT System Admin Issues <[email protected]> Sent: Sat Mar 01 10:57:24 2008 Subject: RE: exchange 2003 issue Dennis, Has MS has you check your receipient update services and make sure that is up to date as well? Other strange ideas that come to mind, did the sp load enable windows firewall on that GC or some other third party piece of software that make not apply to the exchange equation but is causing your GC to deny connections? Is there anything else interesting in the event logs of either machine? -troy ________________________________ From: Dennis Rogov [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 29, 2008 4:09 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: exchange 2003 issue Everything is 2003 We are running Native Mode (AD integrated) 3 sites 3 global Catalogs one per site Dr Dennis Rogov Senior Network Analyst THE Peer GROUP an informed medical communications company 379 thornall street, 12th floor | edison, nj 08837 usa Direct: 732-205-8376 | fax: 732.321.0636 |Cell:732.861.2277 [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> www.peergroupinc.com <http://www.peergroupinc.com> [This e-mail and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.

Do you have sites setup correctly with subnets in ADSS ? How many GCs? Is everything 2003 and running in native 2003 domain mode? -troy From: Dennis Rogov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 29, 2008 3:23 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: FW: exchange 2003 issue ________________________________ From: Dennis Rogov Sent: Friday, February 29, 2008 5:57 PM To: 'NT System Admin Issues' Cc: 'MS-Exchange Admin Issues' Subject: exchange 2003 issue Hi guys I have been working with Microsoft Support and I am begging to feel they don’t know how to address my issues. Here is the low down I started to receive flood of alerts in my event viewer ID 8026 I reached out to Microsoft who told me that my exchange is not communicating with my GC server. The only changes that I have done are that I loaded Sp2 on the global catalog server. Foreshadowing 3 days later working around the clock with Microsoft they finally pin pointed that there is an issue with my default GC had me select another one which didn’t do much it still kept issuing event ID 8026. Today Microsoft Exchange engineer had me go into my mail server properties remove the global Catalog manually and select only one GC catalog server that didn’t have Sp2 loaded and remove all of the other Global Catalog. This fixed worked well for 5 hours and then right before I was about to leave the office flood of errors 8026 came back. This is driving me crazy and I don’t see any way that Microsoft is helping me out. Any suggestion from anyone?
