An Active Directory error 0x51 occurred when trying to check the suitability of server

We have several exchange administrators and two exchange 2010 servers and one exchange 2007 server. I am getting the following error message
when opening up Exchange Management Console on one of the exchange 2010 server. 
"An Active Directory error 0x51 occurred when trying to check the suitability of server 'dc101.domain.local'. Error: 'Active directory
response: The LDAP server is unavailable.' 
dc101 does not exist anymore. I tried changing the Configuration Domain Controller by manually specify a domain controller but get the exact
same error message and also gets an empty list when selecting the domain. Other administrators who logs into to the same server do not get this error message. 
If I open the exchange management console on another exchange server, it works without problem. Is there a setting somewhere I need to change
to point it to the correct domain controller using power shell?

I fixed it for myself.
Organization Configuration->Modify Configuration Domain Controller->select Use a default domain controller

  • Active Directory Error 0x51 occurred when trying to check the suitability of server ' servername '. Error: 'Active directory response: The LDAP server is unavailable'. It was running the command 'Get-OwaVirtualDirectory'.

    This issue is driving us nuts - there are no issues with Domain Controllers or AD in this environment.  The server it is citing in the error has been retired - it was gracefully dcpromo'ed down and removed from the environment.  DNS has no record of it, nor is it located anywhere else.  We are not able to log into Outlook Web App either with authentication failed errors - and I can't help but expect these 2 issues are related?  I tried hard coding the Configuration Domain Controller at the org level, as well as using the -staticdomaincontrollers and -staticglobalcatalogservers with the "Set-ExchangeServer" powershell command - no luck....  System settings of the exchange 2010 servers show they are pointing to the correct DCs - but I still get this error accompanied with long delays in rendering windows in EMC.  Extremely frustrating.....  I have an issue logged with MS now, but they aren't looking at them until Nov 9.  Has anyone seen this issue at all?  More info on the OWA config - using Form based auth, and I'm not able to perform a simple test-owaconnectivity -mailboxcredential (get-credential\username) -allowuntrustedcertificate -allowinsecurelogon - please help

    Create a "global catalog" on the 2nd domain contoller, will fix this problem. 
    To create a new global catalog:
    On the domain controller where you want the new global catalog, start the Active Directory Sites and Services snap-in. To start the snap-in, click Start , point to Programs , point to Administrative Tools , and then click Active Directory Sites and Services .
    In the console tree, double-click Sites , and then double-click <var>sitename</var> .
    Double-click Servers , click your domain controller, right-click NTDS Settings , and then click Properties .
    On the General tab, click to select the Global catalog check box to assign the role of global catalog to this server.
    Restart the domain controller.

  • When I click Convert to Word docx, I receive the error message -- "An error occured when trying to access the service." This has been happening for about a week.

    Export PDF will not convert a pdf to MS Word. This failure has been going on for about a week. The error message is "An error occurred when trying to access the service." What can I do to get this working again?

    Hi,
    It seems it was working fine earlier.
    Is this happening with all files?
    You can try using different browser.

  • 'An unknown error occurred when trying to play the...

    Hello,
    I have had a BT Vision package for a few months but we recently moved house and wanted to transfer our services. Since moving in, we have got the telephone, internet and TV channels working however we are struggling with the additional TV services (i.e. catch up, recording, on demand).
    Everytime we try to play something on catch up or via on demand, or try to play a recorded programme, it attempts to load but then the following error message appears at the bottom of the screen in a red box - 'An unknown error occurred when trying to play the video OutputProtectionEnableFailed'
    I have phoned BT's technical department on several occasions who have not been able to resolve the issue. I have tried Googling this error message and searching BT's website however I cannot find any comments about this error. BT have offered to send a technician out however will automatically charge £99 if this is an error with the cable rather than the BT box. This is a lot of money and I am not able to risk this potential charge when I'm not sure what the problem might be.
    If anyone know's what might be causing this , or has had the same error message themselves, I would be very grateful to know.
    Many thanks,
    SHyde

    after having played back a backup on a Mac under OSX 10.7 containing CS4 following error massage occured when trying to start PS:
    eroor 150:30
    seems to be related with registration

    By courtesy of R_Kelly:
    The 150:30 error means licensing broke.
    Two ways to fix this: If you are used to the Terminal app, you download the license recovery package and following instructions carefully, you use the python script in the package.  Error "Licensing has stopped working"  | Mac OS
    If for some reason it doesn't, reinstall CS4 from your discs, or download the CS4 installer here.

  • I am getting "an unknown error has occurred" when trying to download any free apps from my brand new 4GS iPhone

    I am getting "an unknown error has occurred" when trying to download any free apps from my brand new 4S iPhone.
    Please Help!!

    I had the exact same problem.  Worked fine for a couple days then suddenly getting this error.  I fixed it, however. 
    Do this:
    Open the App Store app on your phone.
    Go to the "Featured" section.
    Scroll to the very bottom of the page and click on your Apple ID.
    Screen pops up. Choose "Sign out".
    Scroll to the bottom of the "Featured" section again.
    Sign back in.
    Try your download again.
    This worked for me.  Good luck!
