2003 Domain Controller Server

[Christian17]

Anyone have any isses with a 2003 Domain Controller server knocking voicemail pro service offline??? If so, please advise.

You must give more details.

domain controller (DC) is a server that responds to security authentication requests (logging in, checking permissions, etc.) within the Windows Server domain; A domain is a concept introduced in Windows NT whereby a user may be granted access to a number of computer resources with the use of a single username and password combination.


******not a tech, just having a customer who is having issues with their VMPRO client and I thought maybe it's not compatible with 2003 Domain Controller.

Is the VM running on the DC? IS the DC running DNS & DHCP and other stuff. VM is not supported on a domain controller i dont think. there was a post here about this in the last couple days.

You are being smart.
We know what the DC is.

You need to provide more info about the issue with vmpro.
It does not work is not enough to fix this!!!

Think of updates, firewall, anti virus etc etc etc
something must have changed.
It does not just stop working without a reason.

VM PRO can run on a 2003 server, even if it is the AD. This will happen when it's installed on a 2k3 SBS, which is OK.

Yes, Vmail is running on DC.

I'm not being smart. I didnt even know what a DC was prio to today. As I mentioned, I'm not a tech. We only installed the VmailPro about a month ago, and we've had to restart it now 3 times. I'll find out if DC is running DHCP and DNS.

It's not supported on a Domain Controller and for good reason, but read the following to find the workaround

It's a mythos that a dc/ad is not allowed for anything else.
Although it is better to have all telephony services on a server where we are in god-mode, this does not say it's not supported.
Have a look at TechTip 218. VM Pro is OK on a SBS 2k3. This is AD, DNS, DHCP, Exchange and a lot more.
