SMTP will not start - Error in DCDIAG

[Joseph]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.active_directory (More info?)

When I run DCDIAG on one of my domain controllers I am getting an error that
SMTP is not started. When I try to start it I am getting the following error;

The Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) service terminated with the
following error:
An attempt was made to reference a token that does not exist.

The Event ID: in the Viewer is 7023.

Currently I have 4 DCs in my primary site and 2 in my secondary site. This
particular server is the RID role holder. How do I correct this error? I
have searched the khowledge base and found something similar but it is not
exactly the same in that the RSA Key listed in the registry is not even close
to any of the RSA Keys listed in the \All Users\Application
Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA directory.

Please advise.

Thanks,

why is the SMTP service installed on the DC?

* Is it also an exchange server?
* Are you using the SMTP transport protocol for AD replication?
* Something else?

Yes, we use SMTP for replication between our Main Site and a remote site that
is connected over a T1 VPN tunnel.

Joseph,

Quick question: why do you use SMTP for replication. You probably have a
very good reason but there are severe limitations to using SMTP for
replication. Generally, SMTP is used when the connection is very shaky. An
example would be if you had that branch office in some South American
country.....

Cary,

Quite frankly the main reason SMTP is used is because it was set up that way
when I took over and while I have cleaned up the AD dramatically over the
last several months I am not quite sure how to change it. We do have one
remote site which is set up as a site in AD that is over a T1 and while it is
not like in a foreign country we have had the line go down for 10 hours at a
time a couple times a year.

I would be happy to change it around to fully use RCP but I would need some
guidance on how to make that change.

Thanks,
Joseph

remember that the SMTP transport protocol for AD replication is only
for non-domain naming contexts like the schema and the configuration
naming
