REchecked binding order.. Good to go.. Rechecked ipconfig,
good to go.. Rechecked all NICS pointing to int nic for
DNS.. Good to go.. Reran ICW.. Good to go..
A few things.. I am seeing that my IIS wont let me start
up my website telling me that "address already in use"
What the heck is that? The addy is in use at that
website.. Where else is it going to be in use? I am pretty
sure that my Exchange isnt running because it doesnt know
what server to connect to.. Whenever I open up the
Exchange snap in it is pointing to my server.. My event
log is saying that the GC and th DC are listed as ""..
That has to be what is holding me up.. How do I
reconfigure my Exchange server to point to my server? From
what it looks like it IS pointing to my server..
