Sorry for the vague details. Here is how everything is setup.
I have one Win2k DC, it is running SP3 and has all updated patches. The server is a DC, has GC and all FSMO roles. SQL 2000 is installed and running SP2. DNS is working properly as well. I also have NAV corporate edition 7.51 installed and running. The initial install of Exchange seemed to go fine, I rebooted and received the error message that a service failed, in the system event viewer I have the following error
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7024
Date: 1/20/2003
Time: 9:31:29 PM
User: N/A
Computer: DC1
Description:
The Microsoft Exchange Information Store service terminated with service-specific error 0.
After this error I receive numerous others stating that the Pop3 and Imap4 could not start because they depend on the information store.
I ran the uninstall and rebooted, I noticed that I again received service failures for left over exchange services. I went in and manually removed the left over services and rebooted. I started the Exchange install again and it completed, but still had the same problem. I tried manually starting the information store and it failed to start. Is there a special way you have to uninstall Exchange in order for it to get completely removed? I have been looking for good docs on installing Exchange, but the only thing I have found is setting up exchange in a cluster. Does anyone have any good places for Exchange docs, besides the MS site?
Thanks

I have seen something similar to this before. I had installed Exchange2k and rebooted the server. The services would fail to start and I could not start them manually. I ended up re-installing everything on the box and tried rebooting again, same thing happened. I reinstalled a third time and then I installed Exchange service pack 2 before I rebooted, and everything came up fine. I have talked with a few people after the fact and they had no explanation as to what exactly was going on, but it worked with SP2. On similar hardware I have been able to reproduce the scenario, so maybe it has something to do with the hardware configuration.
At any rate, you can’t install service pack 2 unless all services are running, so you have to install it right after you install Exchange, BEFORE the initial reboot. I hope this helps with your problem. As a side note, I did NOT install Exchange on a DC, it was a member server.

I am in the process of setting up Exchange 2000 on one of our DC's and when I finish the install and reboot, I receive an error that a service failed to load. The Exchange information store is the service that will not start. I did some searches on the error and found little info. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Exchange and this did not help the problem. Has anyone had this problem on initial setup? I am also looking for info on configuring an AD connector to exchange, any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
