To sum up what might be a long winded explaination my problem is:
When I try to start the Exchange System Manager administrative tool, I am
receiving  an error message that is

The server is not operational.
Facility: Win32
ID No: 8007203a
Exchange System Manager

I am also experience difficulties if I try to open the Active Directory
Users and Computers ADUC. When I try to open the Active Directory Users and
Computers ADUC (Exchange), I am receiving an error message that is

The naming information cannot be located because the server is not
operational.

The details which might have some clues:

Currently we have 2 windows 2003 sp1 DCs. One DC holds all the FSMO roles
along with global catalogs and the other on is also a global catalog server
(ADC).
A third machine is a member server housing exchange. All machines are as
patched as windows update allows.

I found out to do some settings with DNS but that was not working well for
me. Moreover, when I try to add member server to the domain it is not
connecting with my NETBIOS domainname, instead, when I providing the domain
name as domainname.com then it is prompting for user name and password and
could able to join the member server in the domain.

Thanks in advance, hopefully I didnt leave out too many details!
