The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

OWa unable to contact domain controllers after a DC rebuild

Asked by chronolith in Miscellaneous Networking, Domain Name Service (DNS)

Tags: available, exchange, error

I have a problem with our OWA system.

I had to rebuild a domain controller (which was a global catalog) over the weekend.  Our exchange frontend came out of it just fine and the rest of the Active Directory system is doing well.  There are several other GCs on the network available.  Our OWA exchange server (which is located in the DMZ on our PIX firewall) is no longer functioning as an OWA system.  Its DNS resolution does not seem to be working though I have pointed it to several valid DNS servers in my network.  I cannot launch the Exchange System Manager of that OWA server.  It is able to resolve pings for *some* servers in the network but not all.  I don't believe that is contacting the global catalogs of any system.  I receive 2104 errors about not being able to contact an DCs in the domain.

I checked the firewall policy and it looks pretty open between the internal network with all the DCs and the DMZ.

Is my OWA system somehow dependant on the old (and now gone) Domain Controller?  How do I switch it over and reconnect it to the domain?

Thanks.
