XADM: How to Configure Exchange Server on Banyan VINES Network

MORE INFORMATION

To run Microsoft Exchange Server on a Banyan VINES network, perform the following configuration steps:

1. Install the Banyan VINES redirector on the Exchange Server computer.
2. Configure RPC support for Banyan VINES.

If Windows NT Server version 3.51 is installed, copy the DLLs in the Support\banyan directory on the Exchange Server CD to your Windows System32 directory.

If Windows NT Server version 4.0 is installed, perform the following steps:

1. On Control Panel, choose Network.
2. Select the Services tab.
3. Click Add.
4. Select RPC support for Banyan and click OK.

If Exchange Server and Windows NT Server version 4.0 are installed on a computer running in a Banyan VINES network, the Banyan VINES computer name must be the same as the Exchange Server computer name. For example, if the Exchange Server computer name is MailServer1, the Banyan VINES computer name should also be MailServer1. To set the Banyan VINES computer name to the same name as the Exchange Server computer, perform the following steps:

1. Choose Setup from the VINES program group.
2. Choose Computers.
3. Select Name Workstation on Network.
4. In the Computer Name box, type the name used by the Exchange Server computer.

To ensure that the Microsoft Exchange client can connect to an Exchange Server computer on a Banyan VINES network, the Banyan VINES protocol (ncacn_vns_spp) should be the first protocol listed in the RPC binding order. In addition, any unused protocols should be removed from the binding order.

RPC connectivity in Banyan requires the Windows NT 3.51 versions of the following two .dll files: The registry specifies the correct version of the .dll file to use at:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\RPC\Client Protocols
   \ncacn_vns_spp:REG_SZ:rpcltc8.dll

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\RPC\Server Protocols
   \ncacn_vns_spp:REG_SZ:rpclts8.dll
