Subject: AutoDiscovery for Directory Access Not working / DistList
Permissions Problem

I have one site with 2 domains (A and B). The Exchange 2003 server is in
domain A.

The directory access tab is set to automatically discover. None of the
domain controllers and GC's in domain A are not listed. Rather, the domain
controllers and GC's from domain B are listed.

I believe that this is preventing users from being able to modify
distribution list membership for groups in domain A. I have tried manually
setting the domain controllers to include the missing ones from domain A.
That does not help. In fact, the topology discovery will fail, and complain
that the servers are not reachable. I believe that they are functioning
properly. Active Directory seems to be replicating fine. I'm wondering if
this is a permissions problem.

We recently had a domain controller fail. It had the role of Infrastructure
Master. That role has since been transferred to another DC, and everything
has been rebooted. Is it possible that something happened when the InfraFSMO
server failed that would cause me to need to run domainprep again. Would
running domainprep on a domain with existing Exchange 2003 servers be a bad
thing to do.

Does anybody have any ideas?

Thanks,

Brett
