Messages awaiting directory lookup
Hi We are running Exchange 2003 and 2007 and Windows 2003 Server. On one of our 2003 servers, messages are being caught up in the 'awaiting directory lookup' queue. Does anyone know - 1. How can I tell which DC's Exchange is using for directory lookup? 2. I can ping all the DC's in our site, but is there any specific tool I can run to find out if it is servicing GC lookups for Exchange fine (I know thers is DCDiag etc)? 3. Is there any way to get Exchange to change the DC's it's using? Questions apply to both Exchange 2003 and 2007 pls.

There are some old troubleshooting techiques: http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2006/06/23/428114.aspx If you are using anti-virus or archving/journaling on that server, the 1st thing is to disable it and see if things get better. Otherwise, I woulg go through the steps in the article above.
