Hi Ara, You should really research the Exchange stuff out on MSDN. I've seen this issue When a machine is AD and Exchange on the same machine. And has been addressed In a few KB articles.

I can't even logging to exchange as it takes forever saying applying computer settings. Using remote management tool I can see that system attendant service is trying to start with no luck and also information store System attendant Exchange 2003 ent and server 2003 , domain policy is highsecdc and also I have raised the level to 2003 only _____ From: Steve Moffat [mailto:steve@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, February 05, 2005 7:12 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: event 4004 and dns http://www.ISAserver.org I would tend to disagree with having your dns look at each other rather than themselves.

I am getting even id 4004 errors on my domain and exchange information store won't mount. Looking around I have found a site saying that this happens if you have two domain controllers and wrong dns settings. My settings at the moment are DC1 First dns pointing to itself Second dns pointing to DC2 DC2 First dns pointing to itself Second dns pointing to DC1 According to that link, I have to change it in a way that they first look at each other then them selves. Is this correct? Imean in that case, then DC1 First dns pointing to DC2 Second dns pointing to itself DC2 First dns pointing to DC1 Second dns pointing to itself Thank you for response ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.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 Exchange Server Resource Site: http://www.msexchange.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 ISAserver.org Discussion List as: isalist@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.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 Exchange Server Resource Site: http://www.msexchange.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 ISAserver.org Discussion List as: ara@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.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 Exchange Server Resource Site: http://www.msexchange.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 ISAserver.org Discussion List as: josephk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
