you could remove the dns entries and add host file entries on each server for the other servers address to test ________________________________ From: ChongJa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ChongJa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, December 15, 2005 2:08 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: DNS and Exchange question http://www.MSExchange.org/ You may have some DNS issues, take a look at your smtpsvc logs and see if you're getting any connect errors. I don't think the Exchange server in question host record is supposed to be in both zones, it should prob only be in it's respective zone and the child domain should be forwarding to the root. From most of the posts I've read on this issue, it does seem to be a DNS issue. Also run the winroute utility and see if it gives you any information. ________________________________ From: Mike Hogenauer [mailto:MHogenauer@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, December 15, 2005 11:26 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] DNS and Exchange question http://www.MSExchange.org/ I have 3 exchange 2003 on windows 2003 all SP1 servers in 3 physical locations, I've been having problems with mail queues saying "the remote server did not respond to a connection attempt" for mail on my internal server queues, which I have yet to solve. My question is MY company's AD DNS namespace is company.com. All my AD servers and 2 of the 3 Exchange servers live in the DNS zone company.com The 3rd exchange server which is the routing group master lives in a sub zone of company.com called corp. (exchange server.corp.compy.com) There is a Host record for the Exchange server in question in each zone. Does anyone see this a being a problem, or could this be why I'm getting the errors on my mail queues?
