i followed your instructions and noticed that the secondary DNS had not been selected as a global catalog. I guess that is the problem?<br />
What do you think? can we have more than one global catalog in network?

Very important to have more then one global cataglog, if you don't you really don't have a true AD backup.<br />

Hope this helped.

I have 2 domain controllers in my network one is the primary the other one is the secondary. the primary DC went down and we started having problems with exchange mounting 2 of the 4 stores that were down. The other 2 mounted fine.<br />
What is weird is after the primary DC was rebooted all the stores mounted fine after. I have run netdiag and dc diag on both DCs and no errors. I am contemplating reinstalling the secondary DC and starting all over but before i do that i wanted to make sure that this is something wrong with secondary DC.<br />
<br />
Any ideas?<br />
i am running w2k3 standard edition, sp2.

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
