Exchange Server cannot be contacted

[nash99]

Hi Guy,

I just finished installing Exchange 2007 on my Windows 2008 DC. Installed all updates, and I tried running the Exchange Best Practice Analyzer. I'm getting an error message "Exchange Cannot be contacted. All my Exchange services are up, I have file sharing enabled, and I can get in the EMC and make changes. Any Ideas?

I'd expect this to be a firewall issue.

Zelandakh. thank for your help but I looked into it further and it was my Remote Registry Service was not running.

Please close this thread.

Closed.

(sorry...couldn't resist)

It just means my answers are from experience, not a book.

There are no more PDC's! There are DC's with FSMO roles!
