Greetings, Plain but dated Exchange 2000 and single DC w/all FSMO roles. DC, lost connectivity/domain knowledge (kicked Exchange Srv out of domain). Was able to rejoin but Information store will not start 'in a timely manner' and host of 2112 and 2114 Exchange errors. No overide policies set in Default Group policy or subordinate policy (only one). Not sure if Exchange or DC is to blame as problem 'presents' as Exchange w/hundreds of above errors but DC 'recognizing' Exchg Srv. also in question. Ping/DNS resolution and Netbios/connect works both ways. Bad news in Baghdad. Any input appreciated! Joe

How did you recover the exchange server?

You must read this article Exchange services do not start, and event IDs 2114 and 2112 are logged in the Application log in Exchange Server 2003 or in Exchange 2000 Server http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=919089 Deli
