Re: Global Catalog / Domain Controller loses connection to Exchang

Yes please post the steps.

All i want to obtain is getting the Global Catalog server to stop this WEIRD
behavior.

Why would one interface stop being able to accept incoming connections via
ping, when access to fileshares and all still work...

I can take the VPN endpoint off the mail server, because i have a hardware
endpoint i want to use instead.

Is the scenario you talk about easy?

commented on below:
Well the secondary NIC's have anways been disabled... I just enabled
them for this test.. Originally i believe they were putin there for
redundancy just incase...

Should i delete the IP routing? Will that have adverse affects? I
have full backups just incase. There should be no set routes for
anything on my network.. It should flow free so to speak.

Mike's referring to DCs in general should not be multihomed. A home can also
be a dialup interface, PPP interface, etc. Also evident that RRAS can be a
nasty issue as well with DCs. If you want to run RRAS on a machine, it's
highly suggested and recommended to utilize a member server for this
purpose, and not an Exchange box. There are multiple steps you can take to
clean this up, and I can post them if youlike, but they include reg entries
that need to be made to modify a DC's default behavior.

Honestly I would disable RRAS, make sure the extra NICs are disabled, delete
any dialup or PPP interfaces, delete those entries in DNS, and you should
get a good night sleep. The way you have it setup, you are loosing valuable
personal time and creating yourself too much stress.

If you want me to post those steps, I will be glad to do so...
