Connecting to Global Catalog

[marcusk]

I have a domain with 3 domain controllers. Two of the DCs
work fine, however, the 3rd one is unable to establish
connection with global catalog (Event ID: 1126). We then
removed the ailing DC from the domain, rebuilt it from
scratch, added it to the domain, and I'm still getting the
same error. Also, I have applied all the latest service
packs. Any help would be appreciated.

Are you filtering traffic at your network ? GC uses TCP/IP port 3268. Also
see http://www.eventid.net/display.asp?eventid=1126&source= for some other
suggestions. Maybe there are other errors in your eventlog which could help
you. Also run dcdiag and netdiag on that DC to get a better status report.
