Thanks for this, we solved the issue, and here’s the problem. It had been decided earlier to update the Active Directory email address fields for another application for email notification. (we’d forgotten). When the ADC two-connector started, it replication this information into the Exchange Directory, because Custom Recipients had been setup incorrectly, these objects ended up with two identical email addresses! ADC does not verify/check the data it’s replicating, it just does it! All’s kind of well now, but we cannot get the First Exchange server to install……it starts the SRS on installation and fails with an error 0x07……, and on retry gives another error, which is a Distinguished Name Exists, because it’s already written the Exchange server name into AD. We had to use ADSIEDIT to manually remove it, because ESM would let us, uninstalled Exchange 2003 the server, re-installed (all was well this time), installed SP2. Now we have issues we cannot log into this server as Domain Admins, something wrong with local security policy, and interactive logons?

(better late than never) Background Stable Win2k3 AD environment, with three domain controllers with a single Exchange 5.5 server and organization. We’ve been testing this for many months in a lab environment. We followed the Deployment setup, and checking logs as we go and have not seen any errors. We have just installed the ADC on a domain controller and completed the two way connection to our Exchange server, and we’ve been checking that replication is working for a few days before, altering the connection agreement to the first Exchange 2003 (non clustered) Standard Edition server. Shortly after the connection agreement had be configured and replication had started, the Postmaster for Exchange 5.5 started to receive the following messages The following recipients did not receive the attached mail. Reasons are listed with each recipient: <andrew.hancock@xxxxxxxx> andrew.hancock@xxxxxxxxx MSEXCH:IMS:IT::EXCHANGE 0 (000C0595) Ambiguous Recipient The message that caused this notification was: I believe this is somthing to do with Autoforwarders we have setup in Exchange 5.5, and possibly duplicate smtp addresses in AD?
