111886	2003-01-07 22:10:00	Im trying to connect to our Exchange Server (5.5 / SP4) using Exchange Admin and recieve the message: "A connection could not be made to the Microsoft Exchange Server Computer 'xxxxx' The Microsoft Exchange Server Computer does not respond. Microsoft Exchange Directory ID no DSE_Communications_Problem" I can browse to it but still get the same message when trying to connect. It Any assistance would be appreciated.	shift (17795)

When the Exchange Server Administrator program fails to find any Exchange Server computers to obtain the Exchange Organization Hierarchy, it is usually because the PDC is located on a network segment where no Exchange servers exist. Because the Locator Service uses a broadcast-based discovery mechanism, routable protocols such at TCP/IP fail to discover Exchange Server computers unless they are on the same network segment. To ensure reliable browsing, a default server name should be provided prior to hitting the browse button, or an Exchange server should be located on the same network segment as the PDC.

If you do not have and account with the same password on the Exchange server you will get a message similar to the one above.	Marty2001 (421)
