Are these users in a different OU container that isn't selected to pull updates in your ADC?
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Geni Sent: Friday, February 10, 2006 13:35 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: 5.5 GAL and 2003 GAL not synchronized I have a single site, mixed-mode. I still have 2 Exchange 5.5 SP4 mailbox servers with about 400 users on them, and 1 Exchange 2003 mailbox server with about 2100 users on it. (I also have a couple of front-ends.) My forest is Windows 2003 Native, with about 28 domains (consolidation is my next project). All the Exchange servers are in one domain. Here's the issue. Some of the new users I've set up in the last few weeks (I added the ADC and set up the recipient update services over New Year's) have complained of not receiving external email. They receive in-district email just fine. They show up in the GAL on the 2003 server (and the Outlook GAL for users whose mailboxes are on the 2003 server). They do not show up in the GAL on the 5.5 server. This has only happened with a couple of them; most are working fine. I don't get it. Why would random accounts not replicate to the 5.5 servers??? Oddly enough, the ones that this has happened with are all in the same domain as the Exchange servers. They are mailbox-enabled users, not hidden from the address book, and SMTP and X.400 addresses were properly generated. They can SEND outside the district, but even a reply to one of those sends generates an immediate NDR. If I sit and watch on our GFI mailfilter, I can see the message come in and be rejected by the 5.5 server that's still running the IMS. Unknown recipient. Well, duh, since they don't exist to the 5.5 server. I did rebuilds to all the ADC's and RUS's in the hope that would do something; I also ran DS/IS consistency adjuster on the 5.5 servers. It's been a couple of days, and there's still a couple users not showing up on the 5.5 infrastructure. WTF??? I even tried deleting their mailboxes, removing their mail attributes, purging them from Exchange, and re-creating the mailboxes from scratch. Still no luck. This one really has me scratching my head. What am I missing, and why is it only happening to a handful of accounts? _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=exchange To subscribe: http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
