the exchange server is configured to store it's configuration on rh-dc-s01.sbw.global

when the connection is lost, i have to reboot the server. then everything works fine for a day.

has anyone experienced something like this? any ideas? how do i troubleshoot this?

thanks,

You have to reboot the exchange server, not the ADC right?

ASKER

right, i have to reboot the exchange server.
Are you using an antivirus that uses a TDI filter driver, like Trend Micro?

i'm using norman. i can't find anything about norman and TDI. does anyone know if norman uses TDI?
Hi, I'm also having this problem at 2 different sites.

Both sites running SBS 2008 on an ML350.

The above microsoft hot fix does not apply as I do not receive any netlogon errors
Trust me it does, it says "these are only a few example".

Dear bharrington83,

I have the same issue; 2 DCs runing w2k8 and 2 CAS servers running w2k8 R2.

Where should I apply the hotfix ? on DCs  or CAS server ?
