Exchange 2000 does not have a directory of its own. It's database of configuration information, user accounts etc is stored in the Active Directory. Domain controllers and global catalogs (these can be roles on the same server) are responsible for looking after the Active Directory so in fact you can address Exchange issues without even touching the Exchange server config. I've resolved a issue recently relating to email flow problems (messages being relayed between 2 servers) which I resolved by restarting one of our domain controllers with the Global Catalog role. Anyway, hope that sheds some light on the situation even if it doesn't fix your problem :-) Ants -----Original Message----- From: John Balos [mailto:jabalos@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, 28 February 2003 1:41 pm To: [ExchangeList] http://www.MSExchange.org/ I followed the article you suggested below, but this article is referring to domain controllers. ???? any other ideas? -----Original Message----- From: Michael Bonnice [mailto:whadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2003 4:33 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Re: event id 1000,1022 http://www.MSExchange.org/ This is usually a problem with your server not being able to propogate GPO's. Sometimes it can be because the link is broken between the actual GPO location and the mapping. see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3ben-us%3b279432 ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Balos" <jabalos@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "[ExchangeList]" <exchangelist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, February 28, 2003 10:28 AM Subject: [exchangelist] event id 1000,1022 http://www.MSExchange.org/ I get the following two event ids on my email server.
