We are trying to Re-Install Exchange 2003 server and are getting error "Error code 0XC103FC93 (64659): Could not bind to the Microsoft Exchange Directory server Exchange5.5_Server_Name. The Microsoft Exchange Server computer does not respond." This was an NT 4.0 domain upgraded to 2003 with Exchange 5.5 MIgrated to Exchange 2003. Everything ran ok for a while and the old Exchange 5.5 loaded on the NT 4.0 pdc was turned off and everything still worked ok. The new 2003 Domain controller with exchange 2003 crashed. There was a seond 2003 dc on the network. We reloaded a new server as a 2003 dc and are trying to load exchange 2003 on it. We keep getting the error "Error code 0XC103FC93 (64659): Could not bind to the Microsoft Exchange Directory server Exchange5.5_Server_Name. The Microsoft Exchange Server computer does not respond." We have tried everything we can thinik of including removing the old exchange objects in adsi. Can anybody offer any help Thanks pw ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSEXchange.org Discussion List as: smoua@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist This email and any attachments are intended solely for use of the named addressee.If you received this email in error please notify the sender by return e-mail, delete this e-mail, and refrain from any disclosure or action based on the information.
