We have set up a new Exchange organization in an existing forest
The Exchange Server 2007 servers are running on Windows Server 2008
There are two servers installed with the Hub Transport and Client Access roles, lets call them hc1 and hc2
There is a CCR Clustered Mailbox Server, lets call the virtual Exchange server ex1
Everything appears to be working just fine, the two hubs are being load balanced and mail is flowing as it should.

When I run the Best Practice Analyzer from hc1, it gathers information from itself and ex1 but gets an error saying it cannot contact hc2

HOWEVER, when I run the Best Practice Analyzer from hc2, it gathers information from ALL THREE SERVERS just fine.

Any ideas about this?

Hi,

Can you contact the server manually without using the tool ? Maybe a firewall is causing some issues?

Nslookup works fine for all servers involved

All servers can ping each other, NETBios name and FQDN

ExBPA works fine from hc2 to hc1, but not from hc1 to hc2
