Exchange 5.5 on NT 4.0 box wont work in Active Directory setting.

We are currently operating in an NT domain system and I tried a test upgrade
to Windows 2003 Active Directory. My current setup is as follows:


Sonicwall Firewall/Router as the DHCP server
NT 4.0 PDC Server
NT 4.0 BDC Server(which i upgraded after taking PDC offline)
2 Windows 2003 member servers
NT 4.0 Server with Exchange 5.5

When I did the test upgrade, and made sure DNS was running on the new
machine and pointing to itself, I could still surf the net, I could logon to
the new Windows 2003 boxes, but the email didn't go through. I'm thinking it
is because I don't have the internal DNS server forwarded to the external
DNS servers.

But does anyone have any experience with this that can give me some tips?

Thanks,
CJ

Yes - it would makes sense to have the DNS server forward to external DNS..

However, unless you changed the DNS settings on the NT 4.0 exchange server -
this wouldn't be your problem...
