New Server Cannot see domain

I have installed a new windows 2003 server, and exchange server 2003. I can

send mail outside the network, but cannot receive mail from outside the

network. Also, I cannot see the new server from inside the network. The

server can view the world wide web and see's the outside world, but will not

let anyone see it, need help resolving,

Did you configure the server to handle mail for your domain by adding it to

your recipient policy?

Set up your domain's public DNS with the appropriate MX records?

Allow traffic on TCP 25 inbound to your Exchange server's LAN IP?

 

See http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/MF002.html - and try posting future

Exchange questions in microsoft.public.exchange.* (probably exchange.admin

for the most traffic).

How are you trying to find it? If you're trying to use network browsing, you

need WINS (all servers/clients should point to the WINS server IP, and

NetBIOS over TCP/IP should be enabled).

 

DNS is the other thing you need to worry about - AD relies on properly

configured DNS, meaning no public DNS servers must be referenced in any

server/client's IP config. But that's different from *browsing*.

Try posting an unedited ipconfig /all from this server, and from a client on

this network.

Lanwench, This is a brand new server, I have installed from scratch. There

are no DNS conflicts, in the event viewer. I can unhook this server and hook

up the old, which is a windows 2000 server and exchange 5.5 and mail travels

freely. the new server can see the outside world and send mail to the

outside world but cannot receive mail. Machines on the network cannot see

the server. I am looking for the server several ways, one being in network

places and the other simply by the interanl ip #. The server is also a web

host and from itself can see the default web page fine. No machine on the

network can see the web page though. Mark

All well and good, but you haven't answered my specific questions or

provided the info I requested.

Re: New Server Cannot see domain

 

Lanwench, the mx records are setup properly. I did answer this, the old

server works fine, the new server is named exactly the same as the old. Your

question on if I configured the server in the recipient policy is redundent.

It was a install from scratch. Exchange server install, installs the

recipient policy correctly by itself. Your other question was if the

firewall was setup to handle mail through port 25, I responded that the old

server works fine which would mean that the firewall is setup to handle mail

through port 25. What did you mean by your comment on DNS. Should the only

DNS number for the server be 127.0.0.1 and also any client on the network?

Also, I have 5 other servers setup on different networks exactly like this

one and do not use WINS server. Does WINS server need to be running for the

client to see the Domain? Thanks, Mark

Re: New Server Cannot see domain

 

Lanwench, here is some new data, I am currently working on this new server.

I can remotely log into a clients computer through remote desktop but cannot

remotely connect from that client to the new server. The new server is set

to allow remote desktop. It is like there is a firewall turned on not to let

any inbound traffic into the new server. Is there something built into

Server 2003 that does this that I can turn off, thanks, Mark

Re: New Server Cannot see domain

 

Lanwench, Now everything is working except for I cannot get Microsoft Outlook

to receive mail. It will send mail, not receive. To fix original problem I

hooked up the second nic to our internal network and gave it a internal ip #.

Then I could send mail and receive mail and log onto the domain. I sent and

received mail through microsoft outlook web access both remotely and

internally. I have tried outlook with interal ip #'s such as 192.168.4.8

which is the ip of the email server and martin.k12.mn.us neither work. Mark

That isn't relevant....and in fact could be a problem. You can't have two

identically named Exchange servers, and you can't have properly removed the

old one from AD if, as you say, it works when you plug it in.

Yes, it *installs* it. But I was asking how you personally *configured* it.

It can't possibly intuit what your internet domains are.

No, not necessarily.

No. It should be the LAN IP assigned to the DNS server. Not the

localhost/loopback.

They need to have only the same/internal LAN IP of your DNS server as well.

If you want people to browse successfully, yes.

NB: If you want help in these groups, it's wise to reply to people's

specific questions with the types of answers they've requested. Don't

paraphrase, don't assume we can see your system, etc.

Only if you have two NICs or have installed a third party firewall app on

your server. Besides mentioning the exact error messages you're getting,

you need to provide more detail, such as the ipconfig /all from the server &

from a client, for which I have now asked twice :)

If you have Exchange, why are you using an Internet Mail account in Outlook?

Don't do that. Have Exchange handle your mail. No POP, no IMAP, no PST.

RE: New Server Cannot see domain

 

Mark, I was setting up outlook and clicked the button that says I will use an

Exchange Server, but I won't now when I try to open Outlook I can't I get a

message that says "Connection to Exchanger Server is unavailable, must be on

line" I am on line but I don't have an Exchange Server. Can you give advise?
