OK, So I finally broke down and looked at a packet sniffer to see which ports my FE server is trying to connect to. It turns out the culprit is SMB! Once I open up either port 445 or 139, everything seems to work correctly. I can login using RDP and Exchange installs without complaints...
It's definitely a firewall issue. I am unable to unblock all the ports leading from the DMZ to Internal network, but I got around this by connecting the frontend server to the internal network via our VPN. Not only did the netdiag error message go away, but Exchange no longer complained about...
Exchange refuses to install on the front-end server. The following error message appears when I try to select components to install:
- Setup encountered an error when trying to contact Windows Active Directory. The error was:
- Failed to contact the Schema Master for this AD Forest...
Our front-end server doesn't have Exchange on it yet. I haven't installed Exchange on it because I was afraid of the above error messages being an indication that it couldn't fully talk to the domain. Should I attempt to install Exchange anyway?
WhoKilledKenny,
Where do I configure the front-end server to not use RPCs to locate a domain controller? Is this a local security policy setting?
Yes, I configured port 7778 using the registry per MS's KB article.
Thanks for the suggestion, but after adding the host file, I am still seeing the same results. The message in the Application Event log & Net Diag are identical to what they were before. I am relatively sure that DNS resolution is working to some degree because I can ping external addresses from...
I am attempting to setup a Front-end Exchange server in our DMZ per Microsoft recommendations. Our internal network is 192.168.1.0/24 and our DMZ network is 192.168.2.0/24. I have been trying to follow the MS Technet article on the subject, but I have apparently missed something. This is what...
I have a rather large list filtered e-mail addresses (Global Settings -> Message Delivery -> Sending Filters) set on my exchange server. Is there a way to export this list into a text file?
Check their startup script. If it doesn't run to completion, it may hang. This will cause windows to not complete the logon process. I had a very similar problem when I managed Windows 2000 Terminal Servers.
For an easy way to check if this is the case...
After the user logs on, logon as...
I saw no other jobs running at the same time. In fact, during the that period of time, the SQL server appears to be fairly quiet. However, I adjusted the transaction log running time (it now stops at 9:30pm, instead of 10:45) a little and the problem appears to be gone. I suppose this means...
We have maintenance plans set on our SQL server that backup the database every night at 11pm. Transaction logs are set to backup on an hourly basis from 6am to 10:45pm. Everything appears to be running correctly. The database in question is about 330 MB. The transaction logs are between 16k -...
I am setting up a simple Squid firewall/proxy for a public network. Is there a way to have squid set an initial page the for the first time it is accessed. (similar to a home page). This would be a disclaimer page explaining to the user that they are accessing the internet at their own risk, and...
I host our company web site on a W2k server running IIS. Upon review of the log files, I discovered lines similar to the following occuring several times a night.
61.248.35.135, -, 10/24/2003, 7:54:37, W3SVC1, SVRWEB01, 192.168.2.5, 15, 111, 50, 501, 0, get, /winnt/system32/cmd.exe, /c%20dir...
oops! looking over my code again, i did find a mistake.
My start / end date variables should be this:
Dim Command1__StartDate
Command1__StartDate = "200302"
if((Request.QueryString("StartYear") & Request.QueryString("StartMon")) <> "") then...
sure. It's an internal web site, and thus not viewable from the Internet, but I'm guessing you want the URL to see what parameters are being passed. It was my understanding that multi-select list boxes (which is what BuildingID is), when read by the recieving page, are percieved as CSV strings...
I have a page that passes a variables as a string to a second page. The second page uses the following code to execute a stored procedure which parses the string data, and forms a select statement out of it.
