The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Changing effective AD GC designation in Exchange 2003

Asked by ETA-TECHNICIANS in Exchange Email Server, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), Active Directory

Tags: , , , ,

How do I convince a 2003 Exchange Server to look to a GC/DC other than the one specified in the key: HKLM\software\microsoft\ADs\providers\LDAP\

At what point will Exchange stop using the old value and create a new value that reflects the new 2003 DC/GC in:

%SystemRoot%\SchCache\<DC fqdm>.sch

The reason being, I am deploying RPC over HTTP and I need the Exchange Server to authenticate with the new 2003 DC/GC recently deployed, rather than the older 2000 DC/GC that was the highest DC in place at the time that this Exchange Server was originally deployed a couple years or so ago.

Without revisiting too much in terms of the aspects of configuring RPC over HTTP, it seems that this setting figures in to the equation.  When I run Outlook with the /rpcdiag switch from outside the network, during the connection attempt I can see that it successfully contacts the Exchange server, and then that the Exchange server is in fact querying the old non-RPC-solution-capable 2000 DC/GC server.

I have specified in Exchange Manager (Directory Access tab) to manually point to the 2003 DC/GC, and have also changed the PDC designation in Recipient Update Services.  The LDAP Port is the default 3268 and has not been changed.

Perhaps a reboot required to make this change take affect?  It is deployed in a high availability environment.

Further, I have verified using netdiag that all tests are passed.  The exchange server is NOT a domain controller.

Exchange Server 2003 SP2 on Windows 2003 R2 SP1
New DC/GC: Windows 2003 R2 SP2
Old DC/GC: Windows 2000 SP4

Thanks for any insights!
