The only other way I know to test if NSPI is working is to actually send NSPI calls to the GC. There is a little unsupported command line tool out there than can do that but I can't for the life of me recall the name at the moment.

So that clears up why Exchange is complaining about the GC needing a reboot since it wasn't rebooted after it had been made a GC. Interesting tool, RPC Dump, unfortunately I didnt get it to work just yet. It gave me an error: The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction, when I choose Ignore the Command.com or Cmd.exe starts using 100% cpu. Out of curiosity; is there another way to check if the "MS NT Directory NSP Interface" is listed? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe Sent: zaterdag 23 september 2006 2:52 To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Exchange in environment - reboot necessary after a DC has been made a GC What is the rev of the DC?

The damn thing is that Exchange still throws event 9176: Event ID 9176 from MSExchangeSA occurred 1 times (NSPI Proxy can contact Global Catalog "servername" but it does not support the NSPI service. After a Domain Controller is promoted to a Global Catalog, the Global Catalog must be rebooted to support MAPI Clients. Reboot "servernamerio" as soon as possible. ----- Oorspronkelijk bericht ----- Van: joe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Datum: vrijdag, september 22, 2006 4:38 pm Onderwerp: RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Exchange in environment - reboot necessary after a DC has been made a GC > This is no longer necessary with current revs of AD.
