You're doing more than installing a new version of Exchange there. Nothing wrong with being the telecoms guy, but even in a small setup that's a pretty daunting task even for a reasonably experienced admin. Throwing a curved ball in here, how big are your existing message stores? I did a...

I can't guarantee it's the same for 2004, but on 2006 it's pretty easy - all you have to do is change the IP range for the adapter,or in the case of 2006, the network entity 'internal'. ISA seems to see objects rather than details. The external adapter doesn't even have an IP address associated...

That's not a bad idea. Certainly nothing to lose - all I'm doing is letting Windows do what I have been trying to do manually. I reckon Windows is probably better at it than I am! Will give that a try. Thanks again.

Hi GrimR, Yes - kind of strange. When I go through the admin snapins for FSMO roles, it all shows the new server as the role holder, but obviously something is messed up. I have decided that seeing what a mess this all is, I am going to set up an entirely new network. The purpose of this...

OK, here we go . . .! The IPconfig looks OK to me, the new server is pointing to itself as dns server. GrimR, when you say I should leave the old entry for the dns server as well, I'm wondering if that's correct, as that is the server I'm trying to take offline. For the time being I have set...

Hi Dave, Yes, that's running. I just restarted to be sure anyway. I've just been looking at the event viewer, and I notice a whole bunch of the same error - 'windows cannot determine the user or computer name . Return value (1355). Google brings up a lot of returns, so far haven't found...

OK, sorry for wittering on here, but I'm hacking away and finding more info. Semi progress . . . if I try to browse another server from my XP station, I get a box asking me to login. If I enter the administrator name and pass, I get access to the resource. This doesn't work for other XP...

Just to say - the problem might have changed slightly, or it may just be that win2k and XP behave differently. If I try to browse anything from a different server (nether the old or the new DC), I get a imple message stating 'there are currently no logon servers available to service the logon...

Hi Dave. I think so - the new server is specified as the DNS server in the scope options and the server options in the DHCP snapin. The stations are being given the correct config - they have the new server specified as their dns server. I'm rather foggy about dns - have never really...

Kind of nuts. Now, with the old DC down, I can ping everything from any station, so TCP/IP is all OK. I can browse everything else on the network from the new DC. But none of the other computers on the network can browse anything. They can all ping, but that's it. Sometimes I really hate...

Thanks to both of you. GrimR, can I just clarify; - How do I check it has replicated? - New server has static IP - I assume you also mean pointing at itself in the TCP/IP properties - it was pointing to the old one, and I have now changed it. - There are entries in dns on the new server for...

Yeah, sorry Mike - I realised I was just waffling after I posted it. I had just been sorting out a similar mystery on my BB, and wasn't really thinking.

Thanks Davetoo - no, I just shut it down. I'm slightly nervous of doing anything that I can't easily revert - I'd hate to kill the old one entirely before I have a functioning network, but can you confirm that I must do that, and also do you think the 'symptoms' I am seeing would be caused...

Hi folks. I'm trying to remove our old domain controller from the network, and have tried to configure a new server to take over its role. The problem I have is that when I take the old server down, it kills the network. Nobody can browse anything - it asks for a user/password (which doesn't...

I think it was covered above, but to be clear - if you have your BB connected to say a webmail account, it will pick up all the mail from that account. If you subsequently go into the webmail directly - via the web - any deletions / movement of messages etc will eventually be reflected on the...

Hi folks. I have some test servers, on of which I installed ex 2007 32 bit, the evaluation download from MS. I demoted the server to a non domain non AD station, and now Exchange won't uninstall. Any option but to reinstall 2003?

Looks like ATT don't like something about your mailserver / domain. Have a look at this: http://worldnet.att.net/general-info/bls_info/521.html Can't see you on any particular blocklist (assuming that's a real IP address you've quoted from the error message). If it is, the only thing I can see...

Make sure you've got an appropriate reverse DNS entry as well, or you might find a lot of remote servers bouncing your mail.

I unlocked my 8700g, and my gsm chip from another provider worked fine immediately, but as a cellphone only. You have to get a data package from the phone co for anything else - email, websurfing etc. that won't happen on a standard cellphone account. The same chip also worked immediately...

I'd uninstall the whole thing. If you don't update the signatures, there doesn't seem like much point in having it anyway.
