Re: Global Data Catolog/Exchange

Hello abarber,

On the DC disable all unused NICs. Also better use the real ip address insterad
of the loopback, even if that isn't the solution to your problem.

Exchange should run on a member server for it's own.

If you don't use IPv6 disable it:
http://blogs.dirteam.com/blogs/paulb...dows-2008.aspx

There is a known problem when installing Exchange on Windows server 2008
if IPv6 isn't disabled.

What exactly do you mean with "but it would not load in the MMC"?

Best regards

Meinolf Weber

I agree. I came across this issue back in March with a customer that has
Exchange 2007 on Windows 2008. It was resolved by disabling IPv6 on the
Exchange servers, as well as disabling the TCP Chimney function.

Also, the multiple interfaces on the DC are definitely problematic, and the
loop back (as the other responder mentioned), should only point to the
actual IP (192.168.0.200), and not the loopback. I feel the DC was setup,
then left at default, hence why the loopback shows up.

That's a good article by Paul regarding disabling IPv6. Also, here is
additonal info about RSS:
