Searching for Exchange external DNS settings.
Computer name is SOS3.
VSI 1 has the following external DNS servers:
There are no external DNS servers configured.
Checking SOA for mail.adsl4less.co.uk.
Checking external DNS servers.
Checking internal DNS servers.
Checking TCP/UDP SOA serial number using DNS server [192.168.0.27].
TCP test succeeded.
UDP test succeeded.
Serial number: 2004082704
Checking TCP/UDP SOA serial number using DNS server [192.168.0.1].
TCP test failed.
UDP test succeeded.
Serial number: 2004082704
SOA serial number match: Passed.
Checking local domain records.
Starting TCP and UDP DNS queries for the local domain. This test will try to
validate that DNS is set up correctly for inbound mail. This test can fail for
3 reasons.
1) Local domain is not set up in DNS. Inbound mail cannot be routed to
local mailboxes.
2) Firewall blocks TCP/UDP DNS queries. This will not affect inbound mail,
but will affect outbound mail.
3) Internal DNS is unaware of external DNS settings. This is a valid
configuration for certain topologies.
Checking MX records using TCP: sos-consultancy.co.uk.
Warning: The TCP DNS query returned no results.
Checking MX records using UDP: sos-consultancy.co.uk.
Warning: No MX or A records were found for the local domain. If the records are
not configured, incoming mail can fail to be delivered to this server.
Checking remote domain records.
Starting TCP and UDP DNS queries for the remote domain. This test will try to
validate that DNS is set up correctly for outbound mail. This test can fail for
3 reasons.
1) Firewall blocks TCP/UDP queries which will block outbound mail. Windows
2000/NT Server requires TCP DNS queries. Windows Server 2003 will use UDP
queries first, then fall back to TCP queries.
2) Internal DNS does not know how to query external domains. You must
either use an external DNS server or configure DNS server to query external
domains.
3) Remote domain does not exist. Failure is expected.
Checking MX records using TCP: mail.adsl4less.co.uk.
Warning: The TCP DNS query returned no results.
Checking MX records using UDP: mail.adsl4less.co.uk.
Error: No MX or A records were found for the remote domain. Verify that the
remote domain is valid. Your firewall allows outbound DNS queries (Windows
NT/2000 Server requires TCP), and your DNS server can resolve external domains.
