Exchange / Active Directory

by lordwalsingham . Updated 23 years, 1 month ago

OK, I’m MCSE 2000 and CCNA 2.0. IT Pro for fifteen years.

Haven’t done much with Exchange. Bought a book, installed it, worked a treat.

Have a DC on one computer and Exchange running on a flat 2000 server installation on another computer. Bothbig new DELL PowerEdge servers, blah.

Everything was working fine ’til I change the IP address of both computers from 192.168.1.x/24 network to a 192.168.101.x/24 network. I realise that these numbers are irrelevant but hey…

Now no message gets through. You can send an email from Outlook without error and without a bounce. It just never gets through. The receiving client doesn’t get it and it’s no-where to be found in Exchange.

I checked DNS and looked everywhere I could think of for places that perhaps the IP address didn’t ‘ripple through’. It just doesn’t work now and I need it to be on the new IP.

Seems a little odd. Anyone got any ideas about a little Microsoft oversight that could be messing up my install? I read somewhere about IIS having a problem when changing IP of a cluster set up, but this isn’t a nut-cluster set up. I’ll check there in the morning anyway, just to make sure…

Thanks y’all.
