XADM:Move Server Fails when IP Address is Used to Join Another Site (196186)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
This article was previously published under Q196186

SYMPTOMS

When you use the Microsoft Exchange Server Move Server Wizard and choose Join an Existing Site, you are prompted for the name of an existing server in the destination site. If you specify an IP address instead of a NetBIOS name, the Move Server Wizard fails with the following error messages:
Some replication operations were not completed. Directories will be
updated during normal replication updates. In the meantime, some
directory services may not start or may fail. To view details of the
error, see the application event log in the Windows NT Event Viewer.


Microsoft Exchange Move Server Wizard
ID no. c1030b4b

An error occurred. Your server has not been moved. Exchange Move Server
will now attempt to restore your original settings. Error code:
c1030b4b"

WORKAROUND

The only workaround is to use the NetBIOS name to join sites, instead of using an IP address.
