Viras,
Check the following KB articlethat one describes how you can manually add the GC, maybe it's an option for you to do that. Else switch of automaticly discover the GC and then switch it on again.

4th option is Reachability & values are below.
eldin-new.some.org CDG 1 7 7 1 0 1 1 7 1
eldin-dc1.some.org CD- 1 6 7 0 0 1 1 7 1
eldin-dc2.some.org CD- 1 6 7 0 0 1 1 7 1
where 1 = Global Catalog is reachable through port 3268, 2 = DC reachable through port 389, 4 = Configuration DC reachable through port 389 and we have to add all these values.
for eldin-new.some.org = 7 (that means 1+2+4, GC +DC+cDC)
for eldin-dc1.some.org = 6 (that means 2+4, DC+cDC)
for eldin-dc1.some.org = 6 (that means 2+4, DC+cDC)
So it looks to me thatport 3268 is blocked between GCs & Exchange server, so check it, probably you can use portquery or some other utility.
