The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5
- Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
When you try to install an Exchange 2000 server into an existing Exchange Server
5.5 site, you may receive the following error message:
::ScFindLDAPPortNumberUsingDAPI
(K:\admin\src\libs\exsetup\dapiaccess.cxx:682)
Error code 0XC103FC93 (64659): Could not bind to the Microsoft Exchange
Directory server <servername>
CAUSE
=====
This behavior occurs because the Exchange Server 5.5 computer is not using or
does not have the correct Domain Name System (DNS) information.
RESOLUTION
==========
Either configure the Exchange Server 5.5 computer to use DNS, or configure HOSTS
files for the servers.
MORE INFORMATION
================
How to identify:
The error reports a bind issue; use LDP to bind to the Exchange Server 5.5
directory. Then, install Network Monitor and perform a trace of the bind to the
server. In this trace, you will see the endpoint=success (in the packet) and
bind=success; remote procedure call (RPC) bindback success or failure from
remote host is not seen.
This behavior is a result of a DNS issue, which explains why there is not a
bindback or bindback failure, because the request never made it from the server.
