So I just installed a new exchange server (yeah, I know "my condolences"), sorry, work is work.

Anyway, I've been noticing a few 1054 event ID which usually indicates a DNS config issue, well needless to say DNS is straight, netdiag looks good, etc.
So I ping the domain to see how it responds.

This is what I get:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>ping domain

Pinging domain.local [192.168.7.10] with 32 bytes of data:

Give me some love and tell me why this is occurring. I've done due diligence and have yet to find a good reason. I have various other servers attached the same way, same OS, patch level, config et al and I don't see them exhibiting this behavior.

peace

P.S. I'm not entirely concerned because it seems to function correctly, I just can't stand having any errors, at all.
