Hi all I seem to be facing some difficulty with my Exchange 2000 site. I am trying to create a RUS between my Domain and one of my front end exchange services. Upon finalizing this agreement I came across the following error. The server is not operational Facility: Win32 ID no:8007203a Exchange Services Manager This had me stumped for a while, but behind this error I noticed that the domain controller chosen to finalise the agreement was a member server and not a domain controller. This has left me completely confused. It should look for a domain controller to represent the domain and not a member server. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get RUS to authenticate against a working DC? Thanks in advance Best Regards Bhavesh -- Regards BP
Hi just an update on this problem, With the help of PPS we checked the why a memeber server is being referenced as a DC using ADSI edit. Within ADSI edit goto Domain and the OU your server is in. Select the server in question and right click, selecting properties. find the entry service principle name. Compare this entry to another exchange server. Always back up before removing any entries which don't match will let you know after replication if this was successful Best Regards patelbg2001 -- Regards BP "patelbg2001" wrote: > Hi all > > I seem to be facing some difficulty with my Exchange 2000 site.
