I know this one sounds simple and is all over the internet but I've been fighting this for days now and I'm curious. Background:
this was a 2nd exchange server used for management, db wasn't even copied to it yet. After vmtools update to 10.2.5 I started having issues connecting to the /ecp site just timed out. couldn't rdp. uninstalled tools and reinstalled several times as well as deleted nic from vsphere and re-added, found some suggestions on leaving domain and rejoining. This is where it has gone wrong.
I get 'network path not found' after entering my credentials to rejoin domain, no firewall on(service even disabled), no AV in the way, I can ping FQDN and both DC's, DNS is correct and another machine was joined np from same site. Event for net join is error 53 (event 4097). Lastly the Netsetup log I can't really see any failures with one exception. "failed to find a DC having account 'computername' last error is 0x0" This combined with 'network path not found' stand out to me that a port is being stopped but where? no firewall, can ping. File and resource port?
enabled NETBIOS over TCP/IP as well.
telnet to 445 (can get to dc1 but not dc2) other machines can telnet fine to both dc's Netsetup log's reference trying to contact DC2
I am in the process of building another as this seems to not be worth while anymore but before I power down and delete I am curious if anyone has seen something like this. I can't even properly remove exchange now since I am no longer part of the domain.
