I have done a push/pull replicate on wins and rebooted the exchange. Now I
can login and browse the network. There is one exchange 2003 enterprise and
2 domain controllers with wins, dhcp ,dns, and global catalog on them
running 2003
Information store service won't start giving errors
Running the command gives me this out put both on domain controller and
exchange

Wait, below you say you can?t login to the Exchange server?
What does the command nbtstat ?a <servername> show you? What about nbtstat
?A <serverIPaddress>? Case is important here.
DNS is a more likely culprit for E2K3 than WINS on the server side (though
WINS can certainly do some evil things on the client side).
You?re seeing topology errors of some sort? What?s your Exchange
environment like? How many servers, RGs, Ags, etcetera?
Is there a theme to the Event Log IDs? Name resolution for example? Are
your policies getting applied?
And again, to reiterate, a call to PSS at this point will only run you
around $150 and they will be glad to walk you through the problem and help
you come up with a plan of attack to address the problem; if you feel
overwhelmed (which is what it sounds like to me, no offense intended!)
having them at the other end of the phone is well worth the price.

I think I am head up to something. If I go to exchange box and try to browse
the network, then I can see the domain name, but after double clicking
domain name, it comes as an empty list with no comport on it.
Now if I try with domain controller, then I can see everyone. Possible wins?

I forgot to mention my problems
1. starting last night all of sudden system attendant and information store
services went down
2. I got over 100 error on event log after restart mostly in topology
category
3. after reboot, I can?t even login to server as following logging it keeps
saying applying computer settings with no end
4. I have almost 50 different event id to follow which makes me more
confused rather than getting helped
5. I have ran dcdiag and netdiag and don?t see any problem there
6. dns servers are functional properly
7. active directory is up and I can successfully replicate between two
domain controllers
8. ping command work successfully between mail and 2 domain controllers
9. I have read over 100 knowledge base articles with nothing helping me
Blah balh blah

Oh my word, what on earth could be so bad you would even be considering
this?
You don?t simply wipe and reinstall Exchange when you?re having problems.
This isn?t your gaming box that you reinstall Windows on every so often to
increase the performance. What specific issues are you having?
I suggest you back carefully away from the server keyboard and don?t touch
it again until you?ve read through a good book or taken a class on Exchange
administration. Or call someone that knows what they?re doing and pay
whatever price they name. You clearly need a hand.

Hello
Thank you for helping. I have to reinstall my exchange box as there are so
many troubles going on and might be better to do a clean install. I am going
to follow these steps. Are these correct?
1. shutdown the exchange server machine
2. go to active directory and find the exchange server machine and then
right click and choose reset account
3. reinstall windows and do the updates till the same patch level
4. join it to domain using the old machine name it had
5. install exchange using disaster recovery mode
6. mount the database
Is everything will be ok if I follow this? Wouldn?t I face any domain or
schema problems?
