When you have two DCs in your domain, you can configure replication between the two. In AD Sites and Services expand rhe server. Right click on NTDS settingsand select Properties on the General Tab check the Global Catalog. Do it on both DCs. -----Original Message----- From: rubix cube [mailto:rubixc@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, December 21, 2004 11:08 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE:Exchange 2000 problem http://www.MSExchange.org/ How do you set a backup global catalouge? What I know is that you can have only one GC per domain, I rather have 2 or more or at least a backup one that will be GC automatically if the GC fails instead of manually assigning another server to be GC and transferring the operations master if the GC fails. How do you do that? tx -----Original Message----- From: Jawad, Ashraf [mailto:JawadAI@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, December 21, 2004 9:26 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Exchange 2000 problem http://www.MSExchange.org/ I have a very strange problem. Our E2K was installed on windows 2000 advanced server working as DC. It was working properly but after we changed the server to be a backup global catalog, when I add any user with a mailbox, the user created properly but the exchange server does not show the mailbox in the storage group even no e-mail addresses created for that user. Your help is appreciated. Note. This server is the only mail server in that domain.
