Is this a random one-off error?? Are you seeing 8026's sporadically? all the time?
Is LDAP automatically setup ?
LDAP is controlled by AD.. by default it should be working without issue... any kind of firewall on or between these systems that might be adversly affecting connectivity?


Run a quick tracert and nslookup on the exchange server to verify that nothing is traversing the firewall... then verify that the domain controllers are healthy...

All else is fine connectivity is good and no firewall issues the error only happens when i try to create or edit a mailbox
DCPROMO of a server on its own shouldn't have caused a problem. Although you didn't say which way you went.

Restart the Exchange System Attendant Service and see what happens then.

Hi

  I tried restating all services as the first port of call with no effect
You still haven't said which way the DCPROMO was - was it adding a domain controller or removing it? It is quite important.

Simon.
Sorry removing a server
Do you have other global catalogs?
Have you checked that the Exchange server can see other domain controllers, wasn't hard coded to use that specific domain controller in any way?
Was DNS etc updated to remove that machine from the network configuration?

Simon.
Hi Simon

  Yes there are other GC servers in fact the exchange server is a DC so conetivity to other DC is not a problem and yes DNS was updated.
If the Exchange server itself is a DC then it MUST be a GC as well.

Simon.
Yes it is a GC server
