Im quite happy to have it working, and the restart goes fast. It is not good but when it comes to MS nothing suprises me! /gs Does that seem right to you? That Microsoft would make a system that is touted as being more available than any previous version require a store restart for something as simple as the acceptance of a new domain??? That they would do that without having another way to accomplish this? Have a search for store caching and what that implies in this situation. That's been around since the 5.x days and it's designed to enhance performance. In your case, it may not be helpful as configured out of the box. There is also the prerequisite that Active Directory replication is working properly since the DS2MB process gets it's information from the domain where it's stored and written by the ESM. So there's some moving parts that have to be accounted for when figuring how long it should take.

I haven´t read that in other artciles on msexchange.org, but I know from Exchange 5.5 that you need to restart services sometimes. Often there was a prompt to restart one service. /gs > Hi, > > > Puh, I managed to get it working now.
