I have an idea it was the antivirus software that wasn't stopped while putting on SP4 that caused the failure in the first place (although he doesn't state that there was AV on before) Just a hunch ..:-) Sander -----Original Message----- From: William Lefkovics [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 21 January 2003 01:01 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Installing Service Pack 4 >>it basically failed How? Where? Application event log messages? service pack installation log? Exchange sp4 is not reversible. It makes schema changes to the store (which you would have read in the documentation). >>I would appreciate your views on whether I should take the STORE.EXE and the EMSMDB32.DLL from the SP3 and replace it on my exchange server. I vote abso-freakin-lutely not! I would back up and reapply sp4 as per the documentation (stop unnecessary stuff like perfmons (local and remote), run performance monitor after, etc) After a failed service pack upgrade, you installed crappy antivirus software? Big kahunas... William -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Sebastian, Didy Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 2:49 AM To: Exchange Discussions Importance: High All, I recently moved my exchange server over to new hardware which had the following specs: NT4 Server with service pack 5 Exchange 5.5 with service pack 3 I decided to upgrade the service packs to NT4 SP6 and exchange sp 4. SP6 installed no problem, but when I tried installing SP4, it basically failed although certain files were upgraded and changed. At this point I tried installing the Groupshield software, but that failed. In the end I reinstalled SP3 for exchange and successfully installed Groupshield. Ever since then I have noticed that the memory usage on the store has been creeping up. I also noticed that the store.exe is from my SP4 exchange. I know there is a hotfix for the store in SP4. I imagine that my exchange server is now a mixture of SP3 and SP4. I would appreciate your views on whether I should take the STORE.EXE and the EMSMDB32.DLL from the SP3 and replace it on my exchange server. I hope this would fix my initial problem with the memory leak on the STORE. I can then try and figure out why the SP4 did not work out.
