DNS pointing to internal servers only on the network card?

Any changes made to the IIS configuration from the default?

Run the Best Practises tool from the toolbox, see what that flags.

Hey Simon

Thanks for the response here is the answers to your questions.

both dns servers are local

haven't made any changes to IIS just installed it.

I have no toolbox in the exchange management console.

Toolbox is part of every Exchange installation, so it should be there.

Personally though, I would remove Exchange, and wipe the machine. An Exchange installation on a new installation of Windows should work straight out of the box. It looks like you either have a bad installation of Exchange or IIS. A repair of a new installation isn't really acceptable because you don't know what else has gone wrong with the install that you cannot see and which might bite you later on (even months).

Hi Brian,

Does the issue persist after starting a new installation of exchange 2010?
