Do you use this service? That is, have you installed event scripts? If not, you can simply disable the service.

Error returned was [0x80004005]. Hello All, I hope you are not receiving this twice as I have also posted to the sunbelt list. I need some help with this Exchange 2k error. Symptom: the "Microsoft Exchange Event" service refuses to start. Error in Event Viewer: "When starting the Microsoft Exchang Event service" Event Type: None Event Source: MSExchangeES Event Category: General Event ID: 0 Date: 10/26/2003 Time: 6:42:18 PM User: N/A Computer: XCHNG Description: The Microsoft Exchange Event Service (6.0.5762.3) started successfully. Then it gets a: Event Type: Error Event Source: MSExchangeES Event Category: General Event ID: 5 Date: 10/26/2003 Time: 6:42:19 PM User: N/A Computer: XCHNG Description: An unexpected MAPI error occurred. Error returned was [0x8004010f]. Followed by a: Event Type: None Event Source: MSExchangeES Event Category: General Event ID: 1 Date: 10/26/2003 Time: 6:42:19 PM User: N/A Computer: XCHNG Description: The Microsoft Exchange Event Service stopped successfully. I have read Microsoft's KB 265397 http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=265397 and I do not see the duplicated "instance of the EventConfig_servername public folder". I have tried this "tip" from http://www.cdolive.com/agent5.htm . " ... an unsupported way is to stop the Event service, open a command line window, change to the Microsoft Exchange server directory (e. g. c:\exchsrvr\bin) and type Events.Exe /c:<YourServerName>. This will remove the Event service configuration system folder System Folders\Events Root\EventsConfig_<Your Server Name>. Note that sometimes it is necessary to run this command more than once until all occurrences of the system folder are removed." But that did not fix the problem either. Any insight you can spare will be greatly appreciated. Thank you! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
