I can connect and bind successfully to the
ex5.5 machine from the new ws2k3 machine using the domain admin account and the
service account and via both ports: 389 and 38900. From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Al Mulnick I missed the part about the ADC then. :) Try the event log - what do you see at startup of the machine? If you
connect to tcp 389 of that machine, what answers? (try LDP and just connect -
you should see what you're looking for there.) Until you can connect to
the Exchange directory via LDAP, you're not going anywhere. Basically, be sure
to check that the LDAP component is operational and work from there. Al On 4/19/06, Dan

389 (when I change this, mail stops flowing). Regardless, when I try connecting
in ADC tools to the Ex5.5 box it fails on either port. I am trying to build a new Ex2k3 server in the domain, but it
will not join the organization because the ADC tools have not bee run, or at
least that is the error message I am getting. Dan From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

On Behalf Of Ion Gott
The Exchange 5.5 directory should be listening
on another port since it is running on a DC that is already listening on 389
for AD LDAP operations. If
possible it would probably be a lot safer and easier to build a new Exchange
2003 server and just migrate to the new machine...if possible.
We are planning a complete domain migration and restructuring,
but that takes a while and the client has not signed off yet, but they want
ex2k3 features quickly. So we determined the fastest way to implement ex2k3
would be to do an in-place upgrade of their server. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

On Behalf Of Brian Desmond Why are you doing this interim upgrade when
your end goal is a 2k3 native environment? From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
On Behalf Of Dan DeStefano Yes, I can connect to the dc/ex5.5 box from the new ex2k3
member server using ldp on both ports 389 and 38900. I can also bind using the
enterprise/domain admin account and the ex service account. I am not trying to do a direct upgrade from 5.5 to 2k3, rather
I am trying to do an interim upgrade to ex2k, then upgrade from ex2k to ex2k3.
I am receiving the database inconsistent errors when trying to do the ex2k
upgrade. Note: I am not sure if it matters, but in ex5.5
administrator, the ldap protocol for the site is set to 38900, but for the
server it is set to 389. I tried changing it in the server to 38900, but that
stopped mail from flowing. Dan From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

On Behalf Of Brian Desmond Could be all sorts of things here, but lets
start simple. Can you do an ldap bind to the exchange box on port 38900 using
the ldp tool (or similar) from the support tools? You can't do an inplace upgrade from 5.5 to
2003 which is what it sounds like you're doing when you get the consistency
error. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

On Behalf Of Dan DeStefano I
have taken over administration of a w2k AD domain running Exchange 5.5. This
domain was a mess and it took a lot of doing just to resolve all the errors in
the event logs, but now they are just about all resolved and the DC/Ex5.5
server passes all netdiag/dcdiag tests. My
current project is to upgrade the Ex5.5 server (which is also the domain's only
DC) to Ex2k3, but I am running into problems. I have successfully run
Forestprep and Domainprep. However, when I attempt to run the installation, I
receive the error "Exchange… cannot be assigned the task
"upgrade" because… the directory database is in an inconsistent
state… the private and or public stores are in an inconsistent state".
However, when using Eseutil to check database consistency of all 3 databases,
it reports that they are consistent. Even so, I tried using Eseutil to: repair
all 3 DBs and perform soft recovery on all 3 DBs, but nothing worked. I then
ran every test/repair using isinteg, all of which completed successfully and
only some of which reported errors. However, nothing has worked and I am still
getting the same errors when trying to upgrade. I also upgraded the ADC to the
Ex2k SP3 version, which had no effect. Now
my plan is to install a new WS2k3/Ex2k3 server into the Ex5.5 organization,
move all mailboxes to it, then decommission the old Ex5.5 box. While waiting
for my maintenance window to upgrade the current ADC to the 2k3 version, I
installed EX2k3 ADC on the new mail server (which is not a DC). Now, when I try
to run the "Data collection" step in ADC tools on the new ws2k3 box,
I receive the error "Server <myserver>:389 is not an Exchange 5.5
server or an SRS service". I realized that since it was installed on a DC
that the LDAP port in ADC was changed to 38900, so I changed it in ADC tools.
However, I am now receiving the error "Could not connect to server
<myserver>:38900 with LDAP error 6. Check server name, port number
and account permissions". I am logged on with the Enterprise/Domain
Administrator account and the ADC service is set to use the same service account
as the ADC on the Ex5.5 server. If
you need any more info please let me know. Any
help that anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated. Dan DeStefano Info-lution Corporation MCSE - 2073750 If you have received this message in error
