Currently the exchange organization is running in mixed mode. A NT4 BDC with
exchange 5.5 and a W2K DC with Exchange 2000. The LDAP port is not changed
and still using port 389.

Any hints?? Thanks.

I suggest installing the Windows 2000 Support Tools from the Windows
2000 CDROM, then from a command prompt run the following command from
the server you're trying to launch ADUC from:

NETDIAG /V > OUTPUT.TXT

Review the output file for any errors or warnings in the DNS
configuration section.  This will probably be your best clue as to
what may be wrong within your environment.

Hope this helps!
