Hate to say it, but "if you have to ask...." perhaps this is a bad idea. The

short answer is, you need two DNS servers on an isolated network. In fact, I

don't see why you'd want to use Windows for it anyway.

 

If I were you, I'd leave this role on servers in a datacenter with redundant

everything. I wouldn't stay with Verizon, though - I'd find someone else. I

personally like DynDNS (their CustomDNS service is nice).

Hello,

 

You may wait for AD replication before changing ip address. the KCC runs

every 15 minutes, that sould be ok.

 

By the way, Exchange on DC is BAD.

Hi Andy,

 

Why do you want to connect the Exchange server with two NIC, what is it

that you want to archive?

 

Anyway, it will work, but I have to configure the T-1 to be the primary NIC.

I have 10 offices throughout my network and about 20 remote users. The remote

users will be using the email only portion of exchange. 9 of the 10 offices

will be connecting through the T-1 for the public folders, messaging, email

etc...i want the 10th office where the exchange server will be located to use

the exchange features through the LAN, not through the T-1.

You can write scripts using resource kit shutdown tool. Then there are a lot

of tools out there you can use, plus some professional tools that can

coordinate your restarts.

 

However - I have kept a practive of avoiding this and fixing any root causes

that require reboots.

 

Can I ask why you are rebooting so frequently? Normally, servers do not need

any rebooting if they are built, sized correctly and protected

appropriately.

We resolved the issue. turns out that the HP-supplied driver for the embedded

RAID controller ws not compatible with MS Win2k3 SP2 when detecting and

handling a disk error.  When I installed a parallel win2k3 on the system

using the most recent SATA RAID driver, the system came up and reported the

hitherto unknown disk error (bad blocks).  After I replaced the original

driver with the updated driver in the original Win2k3 installation, the

server booted into the original installation and I confirmed the disk errors

in the event viewer.   I found a thread elswhere that reported a problem with

the RTM-level HP Embedded SATA RAID driver. So, when I noted that the current

RAID driver at HP was a later date than the one we had originally installed,

i concluded it was worth a try.  Side note:  The mirror-drive was defective

to the point where we could not write to the partition in console recovery.

Ultimately, the mirror-drive had to be reformatted and resynch'ed.
