nltest returns error_no_sitename

[Sam Mehrabian]

I set up a new Windows 2000 Advanced Server on a new
server in an existing Win2K domain. I set it up as a
participating server (not as a AD server). When I tried
to install Exchange Sever Collaberation Services on it, I
get the following error:

.. Setup is unable to access the Windows 2000 Active
Directoy.

.. Failed to look up the Windows 2000 site to which this
computer belongs. Please verify.......domain controller
is reachable.

According to KB 264001, the only solution they provide is
using nltest /dsgetsite and if you get a:

DSGetSiteName failed: Status......Error_No_Sitename

then I should make sure that this server is pointing to
the same DNS servers as the DC's on the domain. I have
made sure that all of my DCs have the same Primary and
Secondary DNS settings as this server as well as my DHCP
for all of my workstations. However, I still get the
same error message even if I run the nltest.

Any suggestions?

I managed to find an article that helped me to solve the
problem. I went to my AD Sites and Services, and created
a Subnet with the appropriate IP configuration for my two
sites and that did the trick.

PROBLEM SOLVED!
