Relay Issues Exchange server 2003 ent edition over server 2003 ent edition
Hi all
I think my exchange server 2003 is relaying messages. As I have started receiving messages like 'abc@mydomain.com' where abc user is not from domain. I need help to check it out. Please tell me where to check in ESM so that my email server does NOT relay messages. And how to stop these messages which have 'userNOTonmy domain@mydomain.com' Also how to check it afterwards.
THanks

I think that is an unrelated problem,
If you have another DC, install Exchange Management Tools on that and see if it works (it should).
The first thing I would do on your Exchange server is to reinstall exchange and see if that clears up the issue,

You are right it works on my laptop. Reistalling exchange would be too much since the users will make a hassle. Is there any other shortest way of cealring this AD shut down issue?

In a word, no.
You have a major problem there, and hopefully it is not major AD corruption (the fact that it works on your laptop says it isnt)
If it is just the MMC that is corrupted, or the console inside it, then it is not a major issue (but should still be resolved).
How you would resolve that without reinstalling exchange, I am not sure - maybe (Start > run > sfc /scannow) to start?
