RE: Guys, I really need your help with this one, I am totally baffled
I had this same problem just this week. In the Event Viewer (not sure which log, system,application,etc..) I had a lot of errors saying that the exchange server did not belong to the Exchange Domain Servers group. Exchange kept trying to add the computer account to the group but failed. What I did was reinstall SP2 and restarted and that fixed it for me.

RE: Exchange store dismounts unexpectedly
I have seen this too, though not as frequently. Event messages seem to be non existent as to when or why, although I haven't had it happen recently, and it did definitely happen more prior to ESP1. Currently running W2K+SP2+E2K+ESP1. Right now, more often then the exchange store dismounting unexpectedly, we are instead seeing the groupshield stops running for no reason. The only thing I did notice when either happens, is that although restarting the store (or GS) will work, it would fail again in a couple of days or less. Rebooting the entire server it will run for many weeks without incident... Lately there has been enough critical updates from Microsoft's update site that the exchange servers haven't been up more then a month at a time anyways after we put ESP1 on several months ago... Windows does make our Novell and Unix servers look good with very few required updates requiring a reboot... > -Original Message- > From: Sonny Meza [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, January 11, 2002 5:55 PM > To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues > Cc: Michael Hoelscher; Dan Reed; John Moreland; Bill Brown > Subject: Exchange store dismounts unexpectedly > > > We've had problems with our Exchange store dismounting > unexpectedly.

However, in order to best ensure that you are always able to recover your exchange server without losing any email, one should follow the DR steps that MS outlines and one should practice test restores.
