Is this AD 2000 or 2003? what version of exchange are you running.....and is it on the DC? Are you running only a single DC?

SystmProg would have answered the question if the assumption he makes in his first line:
"Yes.. you are unable to open due to DC SRVs not registered in DNS." is in fact the case. There is nothing in what the questioner says to support that assumption.

No offense, Nirmal, but we really don't know if you answered the question.

Tthere is no any such error defined in MS error database. The complete error would be this:

"Naming information can not be located.
Domain Controller for this domain could not be contacted"

And this is because DNS server doesn't have those SRV information for this domain controller. All AD Tools query DNS to find domain controllers in the domain.

I don't know why this thread must be closed without PAQ.
