Dear Technet, I have a and Exchange Server Ent SP2 installed on Win2k3 SP1 member server on a single site environment with two DC Win2k3 SP1 where I recently made both Global Catalog Servers for redundancy prepuces. How can I configure Exchange server to use both Global Catalog servers in case of feilover. I use the Best Practice Analyzer Tool to address this issue and to get some guide on that, but even now that notification message is still there "Single global catalog in topology". I'm sure that the replication has finished until now, the event log under Directory Services gives an information message Event ID: 119 that the server is now a Global Catalog Server I reboot the server as recommended but still the BPA Tool gives me the recommendation to have at least 2 global catalog servers. Am I doing something wrong here? Please advice. Thank you

Hi, You are not doing anything wrong. Exchange server should discover the available GC's automatically. Are both your DC's also DNS servers? Is the exchange server configured to use both DC's as DNS servers?

Yes both DCs are DNS server in Active Directory Integrated, and exchange is point to both of them. However now the message disepeard, most likly exchange requred more time to find out the new service. Thank you Leif and Heppy new Year.
