Exchange won't use new Global Catalog Server

Asked by tomrwilson in Exchange Email Server, Active Directory

Tags: Microsoft, Exchange 2003

Hi!

The server (W2003) that holds our AD master roles is dieing.  I moved these roles off that machine to a new one and AD reports all roles are now being hosted by the new server however exchange (2003) keeps looking at the old server for its GC.  The new server is a GC.

I've tried forcing exchange to use this new GC through directory access and although exchange accepts this server as a GC, this shows up in event log on the exchange server:

Process MAD.EXE (PID=2956). All Global Catalog Servers in use are not responding:

...and if course we can't authenticate.

How do I get Exchange to use this new GC?

Thanks!
