Hi I have 2 Exchnage server 5.5 with sp3 installed. The other server is installed with IMC. The other server is full with our user mailbox. I noticed that we keep getting this error 9318.

An RPC communications error occurred. Unable to bind overRPC. Locality Table (LTAB) index: 5, NT/MTA error code: 1753. Comms error 1753, Bind error 0, Remote Server Name XMAILSERVER [MAIN BASE 1 500 %10] (14)

can anyone explain to me?

thanks

The error code 1753 with Event 9318 indicates that there are no more endpoints available from the endpoint mapper. Many times this indicates a DNS configuration problem. Try dropping a HOSTS (not lmhosts) file on each server and rebooting. The HOSTS file should contain names and addresses of both Exchange servers. Exchange will use a HOSTS file for name resolution before it tries anything else. See if that resolves the issue. If it does, then you know that you have a name resolution problem with Exchange
