Re: Global Catalog / Domain Controller loses connection to Exchange

Hi,

When you try to ping the File2k3 server do you use name or IP address? Does
it work if you use IP address?

Can you check the event logs on both servers (specially Application and
System Event logs) and see if there are any errors. Post back with these
errors...

Can you also post here the results of command

ipconifg /all

from both servers?

I have a server called File2k3. It's a Win2k3 server standard. Global
Catalog and Domain Controller.

My exchange server is called Mail2k3.

When the systems come up, they see eachother just fine... after about an
hour, the Mail2k3 box can not ping the file2k3 box, and Outlook/exchange
gets
awfully slow. I ran a netstat and see a TON of ports to file2k3 in a
CLOSE_WAIT state. If i reboot file2k3 (which is also our DNS Server),
when
it comes up its fine again.

File2k3, can ping mail2k3 PERFECTLY everytime (even when Mail2k3 cant ping
it)..

Both are up to latest service packs and hotfixes...

Has anyone seen this before? I am forced to reboot the server 20x a day!
