Is your PC actually in the domain so that it is your primary logon? Harriet
-----Original Message----- From: Valerie Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 27 November 2002 17:33 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Can't open Exchange 5.5 Administrator remotely? NT 4.0 SP6 + Exchange 5.5 SP4 EX Admin brings up the box to browse for Ex servers. It can find the two servers and will not open on either one. I also type in the server name and it comes up with this box: "A connection could not be made to the MS Exchange SErver computer <name>" "The MS Exchange Server does not respond." MS Exchange Directory ID no: DS_E_COMMUNICATIONS_PROBLEM I am a domain adimin and Exchange admin and am logging into the same domain. I can log into the server and run Exchange Admin fine. I can log into my PC and run NT admin utilities. I have searched for articles concerning this without any luck. I did find one on TechNet and tried connecting myself to the same VLAN\switch as the server and it still failed. I loaded ExAdmin on two other administrators PCs, who also log into the same domain, and it fails for them as well. We have Win2000 and XP with latest SPacks. I feel the problem might be caused by a security update or software upgrade, but I have tried uninstalling some of them to no avail? Any help is appreciated Thanks, Valerie _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
