Upgraded to a 2008 R2 box with exchange 2010 installed and now issues have arrised.


i installed new 2008 r2 box network dc , gc exchange 2010 installed. had new box pointing , old 2003 dc/gc (still active) dns. when set windows environment loads right away. none of exchange services start. when remove 2003 box dns settings server takes 10 minutes boot , half of exchange services start. idea why?

 

fyi ultimate goal rid of 2003 box because 7 years old.

first, exchange not recommended on dc. there numerous ramifications. read following more specifics:

second, appears there's dns issue going on. based on replication between dcs not working, why may be seeing different results pointing different dns servers.

if can post complete ipconfig /all both machines, evaluate both dcs' config possible diagnosis.

also, please post event log errors eventid , source names you're seeing of logs.
