451 4.4.0 Primary Target IP Address Responded with (501 5.5.4 Auth Command Cancelled)

I have faced a problem at a cusomter site;mails  cannot flow from an Exchange 2010 server to a specific Exchange 2003 server , while it can flow to other Exchange 2003 servers.

Exchange 2010 servers were in AD domain: ChildA.parent.com and Exchange 2003 server was in ADdomain : ChildB.parent.com.

Domain controllers of domain ChildB.parent.com only existed at the site of Exchange 2003.

The queue viewer gave the following message :
"451 4.4.0 Primary Target IP Address Responded with (501 5.5.4 Auth Command Cancelled)"
 and the application log gave the following error:

Outbound authentication failed with error -2146892976 for Send connector Intra-Organization SMTP Send Connector. The authentication mechanism is Gssapi. The target is SMTPSVC/Exchange2003ServerFQDN
i have checked the SPN , using Setspn -l Exchange2003ServerName aother posts on the Internet suggested, the SPN was not in place so i had to add it using :


setspn -a SMTPSVC/Exchange2003ServerFQDN Exchange203ServerName
But the problem still persisted, later we found out it was related to netowrk traffic being bloked, in addition to Posrt 25 for SMTP traffic , you still need Ports 389 and 88 for authentication between Exchange 2010 servers and domain controllers for ChildB.parent.com AD domain.

I faced a very strange case with Exchange DAG, I was doing a site resiliency test I failed over to the DR site successfully and then I failed back to the main site, after failing back I found that the DAG was in a state that looks like split brain syndrome although the DAG was running in DAC mode. the symptoms were as follows: From the DR mailbox server: Cluster Console only showed this node while the active nodes were not present. From EMC the copies on the DR server were healthy. From the Main site mailbox servers: Cluster console showed the three nodes but the DR node was stopped, and the option to start it was grayed out. From EMC the copies on the DR server were failed. The fix was as follows:  run the following command: Cluster       /forcecleanup Then run the following: Start-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup "DAGname" -MailboxServer  "DRNodeName" After the first command you will find that the DR node can see the oth...
