Exchange 2003 not listed in AD

by adelhier . Updated 19 years, 3 months ago

This is what i have going on now. I had a missing AD server and the FSMO and all the other roles plus DNS was all a big mess.

Now while checking the Exchange server there is a small problem. When i make a new user or group and want to make a mail box or anything that uses the exchange components it dose not show on any of the AD servers.

I talked to a friend and he told me i should run /forestprep and /domainprep to fix that problem. I did some reading those command seem to setup the items that seem to be missing.

So I tried doing that this morning and all i got was go to the Control Panel and components there. I did the whole thing right via that command line with the CD in and going to the i386 and doing setup /forsetprep and nothing.

The only way i can add a user it via the exchange server it self.

One more note i do not have SP1 or SP2 installed yet. I need to do a full back up first. I just took over this role and not to happy to see the patches where not added yet.

Any ideas?

Andy
