Services shut down in sequence with a 300 second timeout each. The MTA is taking longer I suspect. Wonder what it's fussing with...
What are the event ID's in the application event log. -----Original Message----- From: Thozama [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 5:19 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: MTA not starting Current setup - Exchange 5.5 SP4 on WinNT 4.0 SP5 PDC Problem is everytime I restart the server , the Exchange MTA (Message Transfer Agent) service does not start. This causes other dependent services like the IMS not to start as well. I shut down all the services properly before the restart but it does not help when the server comes up. When I look in the event logs, the MTA conducts field engineering on restart as though it was not shutdown properly. What could be causing this.
