DNS and cluster

[Huesos]

Hi all,

I have a cluster with Exchange 2003 and ,separately, two Active Directory
DNS server. In th properties of the cluster the dns server are the ip of the
Active Directory servers. All works OK.
But yesterday a Domain controller crash and after this Exchange doesn't
work. I restart the crashed Domain Controller and all works ok. What can i
do to make Exchange working if the first Domain controller hangs?

Thanks

Nominally this should represent a fault tolerant solution, but both Domain
Controllers will need to be Global Catalog Servers.

Look in the event logs and see if there is any indication of why Exchange
was upset.

That was my first thought as well. Also, after making the DC a GC, you will
need to reboot it.
