Hi
We
have an NT4 Domain, with one Exchange 5.5 server on the PDC.
I
have attempted to install another Exchange server into the site, but the
installation
fails
at the end, with an error asking me to check if the directory service is
started.
The
service is started, so upon investigation of technet, it mentions name
resolution
on
the two servers.
I
have checked, and when I ping the server name of the server I'm trying to
install,
it
resolves it to a domain name. e.g.;
ping
NEWEXCHSERVER
pinging NEWEXCHSERVER.CO.UK
[201.167.xxx.xxx]
etc
etc
Whereas, if I ping the other way, it works okay.
e.g.
ping
EXISTINGEXCSERVER
pinging EXISTINGEXCSERVER
[192.168.2.25]
etc
I
have entered the new server into the lmhosts file of the exchange server
and
rebooted, but no difference.
could
this be the problem? if so, any ideas on a resolution
