We are running Windows 2000 AD. I used the Exchange 2003 SP1 ADC to
replicate 5.5 directory info.

Both Exchange servers are in the same domain. The Ex 2003 server is a DC, GC
and DNS server, (not ideal I know and I intend to change this once the 5.5
server is removed).

Port 390 in our case, but seems ok.

telnet to 390 connects, but should I see some response from the server?

FQDN works fine.
