Also, the second config posted states it's a member server. I thought you said you promoted it? Maybe I misunderstood something. The second config also shows the IPv6 addresses as the first entry. That may be part of the problem. Also it shows that you set 192.168.43.31 as an entry (itself), but you said it's not a DNS server. So that has to be removed. Only set it after you promote the machine, and only after replication has occured so that the zone data has replicated and populated DNS. Otherwise, if it ever got to asking that IP address, there is no DNS server to respond.However with four DNS addresses, I doubt it will ever get past the second one before the client-side resolver reaches the time out value (based on how client-side resolver algorithm) compared to when the application requesting the query gives up. One example is Exchange querying for the domain controller(s) in the domain. Exchange relies on AD. Without AD or communication to AD, Exchange will fail. Anyway, based on what you posted, I would first suggest disabling IPv6. They DNS addresses for the first DNS entry (assuming you posted them based on the order they showed up), is IPv6. We would rather see the IPv4 address as the first entry (or only entries actually). Here's info on disabling it on both the 2008 SBS and the non-SBS machine: ====== To disable IPv6 on 2008 or Vista (non-SBS 2008): Uncheck IPv6 in NIC properties Uncheck the two LinkLayer Topology Discovery components Then follow the registry changes procedure below to completely disable IPv6. 1. Navigate to: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters] 2. In the details pane, click New, and then click DWORD (32-bit) Value. 3. Type in DisabledComponents , and then press ENTER. 4. Double-click DisabledComponents, 5. Type ffffffff in Hexadecimal. 6. So it should like this when completed: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters] "DisabledComponents"=dword:ffffffff Restart the machine. ====== ====== To disable IPv6 on SBS 2008 is slightly different. Read the instructions in the following link: Issues After Disabling IPv6 on Your NIC on SBS 2008 http://blogs.technet.com/sbs/archive/2008/10/24/issues-after-disabling-ipv6-on-your-nic-on-sbs-2008.aspx ====== Let us know if you have any questions and how you make out.

From: cctanaka on 19 Oct 2009 13:26 Hi Ace, In fact, after I promoted the second server with Dcpromo and have got a Exchange failure. I decided to roll back, using Dcpromo again to "unpromote" the second server. I will disable the IPv6 as you told and post the configs again. Thanks. -- cctanaka ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cctanaka's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/144719.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/small-business-server/1256973.htm http://forums.techarena.in

Yes, they look fine. Go ahead and promote MICRO31 and opt to make it a GC. Keep the DNS settings pointed at the SBS 2008 server for now to insure that there are no errors in the new server event logs. Post any errors if you see them. Also, make sure that all other machines still only use the SBS for DNS for the time being. Let us know how you make out. Ace

I have promoted second server as a Global Catalog. Event viewer logs are OK. I think I still need to configure DNS Server and DHCP. Is that right?
