5.5 on 2k to 2k3 on 2k3 same domain and org 1

[HeleneP]

We are planning on migrating our 5.5 servers to 2k3. We already have a 2k domain running AD with 3 exchange 5.5 servers. We're buying new kit with 2k4 and want to install exch 2k3. We've set up a test environment with 2 machines. As there's only the 2 the one with 5.5 is the global catalogue server and they're both domain and DNS controllers. This does not reflect our existing 'real' setup.

We've hit a problem running the deployment tools. Initially dsscopescan stated in exdeploy.log that it "could not connect to the exch 5.5 server <FQDN>. tools that require an exchange 5.5 server will not run" but orgreport and gvercheck we fine. We've carried on and got to running ADC tools but are stuck on step 2 data collection. When we run it we get "server <FQDN>:389 is not an exchange 5.5 server or srs service"

What are we missing? Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance

Launch Exchange 5.5 admin tool, find LDAP, change the port number you are using.

Thanks quincyju.

It dawned on me that the 2k AD takes port 389 as priority late yeaterday, so therefore the port number was the issue. Have changed it and it's working fine now.
