Re: MSADC 8355 LDAP Result failed



I'm at a loss. The ADC is not supposed to "listen" on any ports that I'm
aware of. It open communications from a random port to tcp 389 on the
Exchange 5.5 server and the Active Directory domain controllers. I can
think of no reason that it would "listen" to anything on that port.

What server is "computername" in your event log? Is that your DC?
When you tested via LDP, what server were you on when you tested? Were you
on the DC and connected to itself? Was it the DC that answered?

Do you have any security software running on that DC that might be
interferring?

I didn't start receiving the LDAP errors until I installed ADC. The event
source is MSADC. The knowledgebase documents tell how to change the
exchange
server LDAP port if it is a DC but not the ADC LDAP port. For some reason
ADC is trying to start on port 389, but it is already in use since the
server
is a DC. I ran through all the deployment tools in order, and then
installed
ADC. That is when I changed the LDAP port on the exchange server, when
the
ADC tools were dimmed and wouldn't run.

I tried the LDP.exe utility, and I can connect to both servers.

I do not have many users. Only about 50.

Thank you for your help.

Your DC should be, however.

Try using LDP.EXE to connect to the DC specifically and see that it's
listening on tcp 389. You can use the same tool to verify that your 5.5
server is listening on 390.

If I remember correctly, there should be something that discusses running
ADC on a DC in your readme files. Might be worth a look. Also, I if you
have
a lot of users, putting the ADC on a DC is a performance drag - something
to
consider.

After installing ADC from Exchange sp2 I receive the error:

Event Type: Information
Event Source: MSADC
Event Category: LDAP Operations
Event ID: 8355
Description:
LDAP Result failed to receive a response from directory 'computername'
within 30 minutes.

Event Type: Information
Event Source: MSADC
Event Category: LDAP Operations
Event ID: 8006
Opening LDAP session to directory computername on port 389.


It is trying to run ADC on port 389, but this server is also a DC.
This
server is going to be my new Exchange 2003 running on win2ksp4. I need
to
migrate my exchange 5.5sp3 winnt4sp6a to it. I am able to change the
LDAP
port on my exchange 5.5 server to 390 and specify that in the ADC
tools,
but
cannot change the ldap port for ADC. Tried uninstalling and
reinstalling
ADC
from deployment tools, but does not help. None of the tools will run.
I
can
do step 1 in deployment tools, but the rest of the steps are dimmed.
Is
there any way to change the port for ADC?
