Why arent you turning on the teaming for the NICs? That will enable fault-tolerance and reduce the IP addresses to one. I dont know how your Exchange environment is configured exactly, but unless youre hosting multiple domains and want to separate them or troubleshooting/logging purposes, or youre running SBS with CRM, you should not have 2 IP addresses on your Exch box IMHO.

RE: [ActiveDir] Exchange question
I would also make sure all Exchange services are running and restart SMTP service. Run MS SMTPdiag tool on both servers to test SMTP connectivity between the servers. If that doesnt work, I would also run MailFlow Troubleshooter from MS EXCH Troubleshooting Assistant. In addition if all fails, I would run offline defrag to reclaim hard drive space, after backing up your .edb files and making sure deleted item retention is unchecked.

You can check DNS as well, but you can also find out if basic connectivity is functioning using the ip addresses. If it's not, and it sounds like it's not, then you'll need to address that first.

Re: [ActiveDir] Exchange question
Just to add my $0.04 worth: By the time you ask what's the minimum, it's usually too late and not enough. The SMTP queue drive should, as a general rule, not get below 10% free space. The way the product works, every smtp message is accepted then acted upon. What that means to you is that SMTP messages are going to hit the disk hard. This indicates that you want to separate that I/O from the rest of the server where possible. That would mean that you'd typically place this directory on a dedicated set of spindles and the smallest drive size you'll likely find these days is a 72GB drive. If your average message is ~100KB, then you have approximately 72GB/(100KB-10%) of space before you would even want to consider that your drive should stop. That's a lot of a messages for most corporate implementations and could easily translate into several days worth of mail at those numbers. Wouldn't you want your mail system to stop sending at some point like that? So that you go find the issue and resolve it? Honestly, I think the better questions to ask are going to be along the lines of what is the typical formula for figuring out drive performance and sizing of Exchange server drives for the various i/o types? That will give you the better idea of what you can and should not get away with on those disks if you need to make changes. If you don't make changes, at least you'll know the areas to be aware of.

Thanks, I will start theremy biggest problem is that I am new in this job and I still dont know how they have the exchange servers configured, something that I am seeing in the event log is the error Event id 3017 A non-delivery report with a status code of 5.3.5 was generated for recipient rfc822;[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Message-ID [EMAIL PROTECTED]). Causes: A looping condition was detected. (The server is configured to route mail back to itself). If you have multiple SMTP Virtual Servers configured on your Exchange server, make sure they are defined by a unique incoming port and that the outgoing SMTP port configuration is valid to avoid looping between local virtual servers. Solution: Check the configuration of the virtual serverÆs connectors for loops and ensure each virtual server is defined by a unique incoming port.

Obviously if the server is running out of space make sure you remediate that first.
