sleepytom Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Hey Guys,I'm currently testing disaster recovery for exchange 2007.I have two servers on a private network with no gateway to the net. I have installed server 2003 with DNS and DHCP on one server which is the domain controller. I have built another server with windows server 2003 with no roles. This server is on the domain and can currently pick up DHCP address’s and use static addressing to use remote desktop etc. So I run the exchange setup and it gets to installing mailbox roll then fails telling me it cannot reach the domain. Now the static IP address has turned to DHCP and I can no longer pickup a DHCP address, if I set the static again I cannot ping the domain controller but I can ping other thing on the network????I’m at a loss,Any ideas?Bout to go to download fest also any one going to that?

r_sin999 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Is it something wrong at the DHCP setting ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepytom Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 I dont think so because another workstation on the network can pick one up.I think its strange how i can ping other workstations but not that server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allen2 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Perhaps an ip mask is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepytom Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 Il put this down to shi* hardware! The server started to respond to pings today. As soon as i plugged in another workstation it would stop. If i restarted the switch all would be ok. Thanks anyway allen2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
