This will not happen. They are probably both related so I'll just point you to the exchange server setup and once you get that working properly the other should as well.

Usually this problem happens when you either do not have a DNS server or it is setup incorrectly. You should check all Dns servers to see if they contain all the records they need. Just because you can ping the server sometimes does not guarantee proper routing of DNS within your network. Depending on the setup of your network, it may be logical to test the DNS from the Router. Usually routers within a small to midsized network will hold sufficeint DNS records. I wouldn't reccomend this as a permanant fix, but it may be helpful for testing purposes.
