communication issues between hub servers

[briggl]

We have set up a new Exchange organization in an existing forest

The Exchange Server 2007 servers are running on Windows Server 2008

There are two servers installed with the Hub Transport and Client Access roles, lets call them hc1 and hc2

There is a CCR Clustered Mailbox Server, lets call the virtual Exchange server ex1

Everything appears to be working just fine, the two hubs are being load balanced and mail is flowing as it should.

When I run the Best Practice Analyzer from hc1, it gathers information from itself and ex1 but gets an error saying it cannot contact hc2

HOWEVER, when I run the Best Practice Analyzer from hc2, it gathers information from ALL THREE SERVERS just fine.

Any ideas about this?

What do the logs say on the two huca ("hewcuh", what I call Hub/CAS) boxes? Are there any communications errors?

What logs should I be looking at and where do I find them?
Thanks, 58sniper

OK, I checked those and there are no errors in them.
