Ever since I did the update on scanmail, our problem went away. We don't have a metaframe server but almost the same thing happened to 2 of my exchange servers (we have 7). The WWW service would go down almost at the same time on both servers. I originally thought we were hit by a virus but I did a scan and both servers were clean.
-----Original Message----- From: Ray Beckwith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 06, 2003 9:25 AM To: Exchange Discussions I have an update on this issue for those of you still following it, and another question. First, I am still in the process of getting the latest version of ScanMail (6.1) from Trend. Apparently 5.1 is no longer supported and they won't talk to me until I get up to date. Also, the problem has been accelerating; we are now seeing the services crash daily and sometimes multiple times daily. The question is, do any of you out there who have heard of this issue also have a MetaFrame server in your organization and have you seen it acting strangely as well? We have seen, on several occasions, the MetaFrame server's WWW Publishing Service stop unexpectedly at around the same time as the Exchange services go down. As always, I welcome any input or suggestions. Thanks...Ray -----Original Message----- From: Ray Beckwith Sent: Monday, June 02, 2003 11:12 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Exchange 2000 Services crashing and server rebooting... I have a question to run by the list that I have been unsuccessful in finding any definitive answers to anywhere else. About a month ago, we started having problems with our Exchange 2000 server. It is Ex2K SP3 running on Win2K SP3. At intervals between a couple days and a week, we notice that a number of System Services shut down unexpectedly. Upon looking at the event logs we see the following sequence of events. Event Id: 7031 The IIS Admin Service service terminated unexpectedly... Event Id: 7031 The Microsoft Exchange IMAP4 service terminated unexpectedly... Event Id: 7031 The Network News Transport (NNTP) service terminated unexpectedly... Event Id: 7031 The Microsoft Exchange POP3 terminated unexpectedly... Event Id: 7031 The Microsoft Exchange Routing Engine service terminated unexpectedly... Event Id: 7031 The Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) service terminated unexpectedly... Event Id: 7031 The World Wide Web Publishing service terminated unexpectedly... On 2 occasions, this sequence was followed by the server rebooting on its own and generating an event ID 6008 "the previous shutdown...was unexpected." I searched the MSKB and the only thing I could find that seemed to relate was a reference to lingering issues from the CodeRed virus. I used Trend Micro's system cleanup application and confirmed that there were no indications of infection on the server. I am hoping there are others out there that may have seen something like this that can offer some suggestions short of reinstalling the entire system. Please help. Thanks in advance...
