Posted on by Rhoderick Milne [MSFT]

On some recent Exchange 2010 builds I noticed that sometimes the Exchange services would fail due to a lack of connectivity with Active Directory.    I noticed that the network location had changed from Domain and was listed as Public even though the server had a single connection which was on the internal corporate network.
