The LDAP server is unavailable - new domain "boe" <boe_d[ at ]nospam.hotmail.com> 5/11/2007 7:23:52 AM Hello, We've created a new domain that is on the same lan segment as the old DC. The old dc is the DNS server for the old domain. Our new DC is the new DNS for the new domain. The new DC was getting DNS info from the old DC but for some reason that appears to have stopped. I can no longer ping the old DC by the FQDN - it was working before no idea what has changed. I can ping it from systems on the old domain that get their DNS info from the old server. There is no firewall between the two. If I set the default DNS server on the nic to point to the old server, I can now ping it by FQDN however it still isn't being recognized as a AD server by the new domain. Not sure what is wrong with the DNS. I believe, as a result when trying to move a mailbox from the old domain to th new, I'm getting this error message. Maybe this is a symtom of another issue but this is my best guess. Thanks
