Re: MSADC 8355 LDAP Result failed

Hmm... I've usually seen errors like that when the system paths are not
correct or when the permissions are too locked down.
Especially for IE.

Can you run any scripts on that machine that have to do with Active
Directory?

It never generates a log file. I made sure that the user for the adc
service
had access to the directory that I specified for the log file.

Wait I found the log file. It was buried under the documents and settings
folder in a temp directory. It looks like it writes the following error
to
the adctools.log file every time I open the ADC tools:

Error in COM automation: 0x1AD ActiveX component can't create object.

There's a section in there about logging that might be helpful here.

Well, I promoted it to GC and restarted. Did all of the tests I found
to
double check it (repadmin, ldp, nltest). Received the 1119 event log
message
saying it was successful and verified that the DNS entry _gc in the
_tcp
container was created. Made the exchange ldap anonymous, restarted the
ADC
server again. It is still doing the same thing.

The only change is that now instead of receiving one 8006 event in the
application log, I receive 2 when the server restarts.

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

I was receiving for xxx computername.domainname before. Now I am also
receiving computername. I only receive that one once, after a
restart,
but
I still keep receiving the one referencing computername.domainname
every
30
min.

As
for the GC, you should have two of those in your domain for failure
resistance. If you put Exchange on one, then you won't need the
other
:)

As for anonymous access, I believe you'll see in the security logs if
you
need this or not if you enable auditing.

I am going to try promoting this DC to a GC. I have read kb304403
and
will
follow those directions even though I do not have exchange installed
on
it
yet. Maybe the promotion will clear up the errors and let the
deployment
tools run.

The server that is "computername" in the event log is my DC

that
I

it.
I
have another DC that is my global catalog server.

I actually tested LDP from my PC and the DC. It connects to the DC
that
is
giving me the errors above and gives me a page full of information
telling me
it is getting 1 entry. When I connect to the exchange 5.5 server,
I
just
get
that it connected and getting 0 entries unless I enable anonymous
access
for
ldap through Exchange then it says 1 entry. Do I have to leave
anonymous
access enabled?

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.

Huh? ADC isn't listening to tcp 389 last I checked
(admittedly,
it's
been a
while).
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?
