As soon as you install the second DC, make sure that you take the GC role off the original DC and make the new DC a GC.
In a multi-DC environment a GC and Infrastructure Master role hate to be on the same machine, and really weird things happen. For some time the Infrastructure Master role will remain on the original server, while all the data is replicating. You may even want to install a third DC and move the Infrastructure Master role to that machine. -----Original Message----- From: William Lefkovics [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2002 5:00 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Exchange 2000, DNS, and DC on Same Server It is a very simple tool. It has two options: 1 - list GC's and DC's. 2 - force E2K rediscovery of DC's and GC's. I believe it is found on the Exchange2000 sp2 CD.

How did you use dsadiag.exe to force recognition?

It would be more important if this was also the GC. I found anytime you change DC/GC configuration on the network, there are Exchange implications. I had to have dsadiag.exe handy to force recognition of DC/GC changes. Is this DC also the GC? Is this the only DNS server? My patience comment is in regards to replication. AD has challenged my patience (or lack thereof) in waiting replication when necessary. That's all. No worries. Didn't mean to set off alarms.
