Exchange 2007 (Could not find any Domain Controller in domain)
I recently had a power outage and some of my servers shutdown improperly. Now when I try to open up the Exchange Management Console, I get the following errors.
--------------------------
Microsoft Exchange Error
--------------------------
The following error(s) were reported while loading topology information:
get-ExchangeServer
Failed
Error:
Could not find any Domain Controller in domain (mydomain).local.
Domain controller not found in the domain "(mydomain).local".
get-UMServer
Failed
Error:
Could not find any Domain Controller in domain (mydomain).local.
Domain controller not found in the domain "(mydomain).local".
--------------------------
OK
--------------------------
I am still able to send and receive mail. Everything seems to be working but I cannot manage my Mail server. I can ping the primary and secondary domain controller so I am not sure what the issue is here.

Huh thats weird. I have been messing with this all morning. I first rebooted the server. No luck there. Then I flushed the DNS cache on the exchange server. Still no luck. Then I pinged all three items like you said from the exchange server. All worked. Now I can use the EMC and there are no erros.
Any ideas on why this fixed the issue? Don't get me wrong I'm glad it is fixed but I would love to know what happened and why this helped.
At any rate this somehow fixed my issue even though this was only a troubleshooting step so thanks!

I'm running into this same error. All 3 DCs ping just fine, and just 12 minutes ago our application log displayed this:
