70-284 - Upgrade from Exchange Server 5.5 and Exc Server 2000

[scotte1976]

Hi all,

Need help ASAP.

I have set up a virtual network using Virtual PC 2005

I have 2 Windows 2000 Servers and 1 2003 server

Server01 - Windows 2000 Server & Exchange 5.5 in Litware.com domain
Server02 - Windows 2003 Server & Exchange 2003 joined to Litware.com domain
Server03 - Windows 2000 Server & Exchange 2000 in Fabrikam.com domain

I am attempting to create a trust relationship between Server01 & Server03.

I can create a trust on Server03 and can ping the Litware.com domain from this machine. I CANNOT create the trust on Server01 and CANNOT ping Fabrikam.com domain from this machine. I can ping the host names and IP adddresses from either machines.

I know this is DNS issue, but have tried everything I can think of. Host files, Lmhosts files etc etc...

Can anyone provide any assistance please.

Regards

Scott

if u belive it's DNS issue, go ahead fix it:
on question DCs

ipconfig/flushdns
ipconfig/registerdns
net stop netlogon
delete %systemroot%system32\config\netlogon.dns and netlogon.dnb
net start netlogon

all the above will re-register the SRV records for FQDN, so, after that, heopfully, u may ping f.com first, then go from there.
