Did you have any events that would make the domain controllers unavailable?

The server's shared folders were available. I decided to stop the exchange services and restart them (stopped IIS and dependent services, SMTP,) When I tried to stop the Exchange Information Store it showed stopping, but would not stop. I gave it fifteen minutes. I then had to reboot the system as I could not wait any longer. What would prevent the Information Store from stopping? I had stopped the GFI mail essentials services, and the GFI mail security services. I had gone two weeks since the last time this happened. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=& lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
