Hi My Exchange 2000 server on Windoes 2000 OS has recently been logging msgs about my global catalog server not being available. (Event ID 9076, 9057 and 9043) I have 2 exchange servers, each at a different site but only one global catalog server. I have demoted my original GC server and then promoted it again but this is not working. I've searched technet and I;ve tried various solututions besides promoting the other exchange suerver. My pre-outlook 2003 clients are having problems connecting. Are there any suggestions or possible solutions-- Heather
Hi, With 2 exchange servers in 2 different sites you really should have more than one global catalog server. Maybe not because of load on these servers but for fault tolerance reasons you should have at least one GC in each site. Are there any events logged on the domain controller that could indicate AD/GC problems? Don't promote an exchange server. It is not supported to run dcpromo on an exchange server - this will most likely break exchange.
