Hi Brandon thanks for following up. I am going to build a new server as second DC for redundancy purpose. Before that I got another big job to take care of too i.e. Domain Rename. SIGH! I want to fix this issue first then Domain Rename. Thanks again

Hi Brandon Thank you for your help and about DHCP logging. The log has been enable since I first started with the company, I had a look at the DhcpSrvLog-Fri.log, OMG... none of request from all clients are successful, not even one. The same log for the whole week - FAILED. What should I do...

Thank you Paul for great reminder on doing a test lab before rolling out. I will definetely take your advice. Anything else I should take into account before I say oopps please. thanks a lot again, really much apprecaited. cheers

Thanks a lot for your replies Currently we don't have any Exchange server, I am going to build soon. I believe in Wins server 2003 environment we can RENAME domain. Because if I had to REBUILD domain name, there would be a tonne of task to take into account. So it would be so much easier if I...

Hi Brandon Thanks for your reply. I restarted DHCP client service, it does not help. What should I check on the configuration for both dhcp scope and server? Since I just changed the scope from: 192.168.0.150 - 192.168.0.200 TO 192.168.0.100 - 192.168.0.200. And I just found out the IP...

Hi all First of all thank you for your reply. Our clients are all Wins 2k and XP SP2, and as I mentioned that it used to work so well. Recently I just changed the scope to accomodate more PCs since we are expanding business. To Brnadon Where can I find the DHCP client services? I really...

Thanks for your reply. Someone has suggested that we need to REBUILD the domain name rather than RENAME. Since I am not Exchange expert. thanks again

Hi all As I mentioned the issue in the subject box. It used to work well, but recently I've noticed that when I joined a PC to our domain, the host(A) record for this PC is not updated in DNS - Forward Lookup Zone. I double checked the DHCP setting - DNS tab: Enable DNS dynamic updates...

Hi all I just wanted a second opinion please. we are going to get Exchange 2007 and renaming our Domain name as well. So should I rename the domain name first then get Exchange 07 up and runing later, or it does not matter either way. Renaming a Domain name can be done in 2003 server...

Hi Pat Thanks for your response anyway. I have been reading a lot of information on design, plan, etc from MS, books as well as blogs. Cheers

Hi all As we are moving away from POP3, Can you please tell me what I really need for a server Exchange 07 in terms of hardware such as memory, raid etc fpr start. Should I get Ms wins 2003 or 2008? We have 50 users and they are growing rapidly. Thanks a lot in advance, Cheers

Hi Jack Thanks for your try. This is not my case unfortunately. However with someone's help, I added (A) record to my DNS Zone corresponding to our website with the IP address, then I am able to resolve by the name. Once again thank you all for your help and support. Cheers

Hi Cory thanks for follow up. I did check on 2 pcs (working and non-working) by using nslookup, they appeared exactly the same. Cheers

Hi Cory Thanks for your reply Yes, some can resolve the name, some can't, I did try ipconfig /flushdns to clear the dns cache. But it did not help much. Any other ideas? Thanks a lot Cheers
