Microsoft exchange- server is not operational error

Asked By penny102 0 points N/A Posted on - 07/01/2011

Hi,

I'm using this command: new-dynamic distribution group -name entire test –organizational unit usd. local –recipient filter  { ((recipient type –e.g. 'user mailbox, mail contact, mail user') -and (customattribute2 -ne 'n'))}.  When I use this command,.it goes through fine. But when I look at it in the exchange management console it says;

Microsoft Exchange

An Active Directroy error 0x8007203A occurred while searching for domain controllers in domain nordell local

The server is not operational.

Name: "nordelllocal"

It was running command 'get recipient -ResultSize "1000". SortBy "DisplayName" RecipientType "UseMailbox".

E. g. If I just put user mailbox then it works fine, but I don't want just mailbox users. I want to access the mail via the server. I am not familiar with the resulting errors. I need assistance. Please, any help will be appreciated!

Thank you.

Setup encountered a problem while validating the state of Active Directory: An Active Directory error 0x0 occurred while searching for domain controllers in domain nbrc.res.in: Unable to obtain DNS hostname of Active Directory domain controller with ntdsa object name "CN=NTDS Settings,CN=MAIL1,CN=Servers,CN=Default-First-Site-Name,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=nbrc,DC=res,DC=in".

Fallow the below step of process to fix the issue

Check the Event viewer for related error or warning event which helps us to determine the root cause.

Please make sure that the machine is the member of the domain

Please Make sure the preferred and alternative DNS are configured correctly.

Create a new user in Active Directory with Domain Administrator rights

Re-join the domain (join a workgroup, reboot, and join the domain again)
