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!

Windows Server 2003 x64 Network Card binding wrong IP address on startup

Asked by botzdeal in Operating System Specific Networking, Windows Networking, TCP/IP

Tags: Windows Server 2003 64 Bit Network IP Address

I have an Exchange 2007 Server that is acting strange on startup. The last couple of times I have started the server my Domain Controller  (an SBS 2003 server) logs this error:

Event Type:        Error
Event Source:    Tcpip
Event Category:                None
Event ID:                                    4199
Date:                     3/16/2009
Time:                     7:15:24 AM
User:                     N/A
Computer:          BDPC
Description:
The system detected an address conflict for IP address 10.0.0.2 with the system having network hardware address 00:07:E9:31:9E:68. Network operations on this system may be disrupted as a result.


At the same time my server, my Exchange server reports:

Event Type:        Information
Event Source:    Tcpip
Event Category:                None
Event ID:                                   4201
Date:                     3/16/2009
Time:                     7:16:48 AM
User:                     N/A
Computer:          BDEX
Description:
The system detected that network adapter \DEVICE\TCPIP_{3DBEFB7B-1AAE-4F62-A7B3-B7977067F240} was connected to the network, and has initiated normal operation over the network adapter.


The MAC address is the network adapter of the second server. What I cannot get through my head is how my Exchange Server is taking my Domain Controllers IP address before Windows binds to the NIC.

Every morning i have a Fiasco getting the  servers   to behave and play nice with each other.

The only other thing is that this server also hosts 2 Virtual Servers using VMware Server v2.
