Yup - same hardware and OS service pack level (HP ProLiant DL580 G5). Unfortunately, by the time we've noticed the queues building up, it's so unresponsive that we can't even open event viewer.

Smith Sent: 28 March 2011 14:28 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Need some help with /RecoverServer Perhaps a stupid question - but you DID install this on a 64-bit server, right? If you restart all the Exchange services when the queue starts to build, does that help? Yes, there are lots of issues (think IUSR and IWAM accounts) that could be issues with renaming a computer and then running /RecoverServer. I really don't know what the support stance on that is.

Today, and yesterday at about 1030/11am, nothing gets written to the application or system log, messages queues on the HT servers build up, and eventually the server becomes unresponsive to logons and needs to be cold-started. I used /RecoverServer after renaming an existing, domain-joined computer in Active Directory and reset the computer account for the failed server. I did NOT build the OS from scratch with the correct name in the first place. Could that be causing these issues, and is there anything that can be done without re-installing?
