Shut them down in any order you would like. The order in which they are shutdown really only depends on if you are doing a manual shutdown from the command line. Otherwise, stop the DS first, which will take down a couple of others services and then do the rest of manually. It is best to shutdown the services FIRST when you are rebooting the Exchange machine. Takes less time then allowing NT to do it.

It had to do with the IS and how it was flushing buffers which was addressed, finally, in SP3. -----Original Message----- From: Hurst, Paul [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 15, 2002 2:35 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Shutting Down 5.5 Chris, This was used in the old versions of 5.5 (I think before SP3) as Exchange did not shut down in the correct order when requested by NT and therefore took a loonnnngggg time (E.G. tried to shutdown the services in the wrong order and hence some at the same time, etc; until it got to IS which would shutdown, then it went round in the top and did the same thing again and again until it finally shut everything down). Now we have SP3 > it is not necessary.

My predecessor here has it drilled into everyone that you have to use his batch script to stop Exchange services in a certain order. I know the info store stopping cleanly is the biggest one you want. Has anyone seen or use something like this to shut down the services in a certain order vs. letting NT take them down in the dependency order upon shutdown? _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] **************************************************************************** ******************* The information contained in this message or any of its attachments may be confidential and is intended for the exclusive use of the addressee(s).
