I am having a tough time setting up exchange 2000 server. I have finally completed the installation, I think. It is being installed on a dedicated machine, the machine is the 2nd server on the network. It is setup as a 2nd domain controller. I thinkmy problems are related to the AD not being relicated to the 2nd server. Under Admin. Sites and Services I created a new NTDS Connection between the servers and when I click replicate I receive the error "DSA operation is unable to proceed because of a DNS lookup failure". There was also a default connection made under the 1st server thet says "automatically denerated" when I click replicate here I receive the error "RPC Server is not available" I have double checked DNS and can't seem to find and problems. RPC Service is running. Please help. Thank You.

This behavior can occur when DNS on the preferred DNS server is not configured properly.
Make sure that your Primary DNS is setup to point to the correct DNS server.

You can also make sure that your local DNS server allows dynamic updates and supports Service Location (SRV) resource records.
