I'm logged in with the Service Acct. The error occurs after all the 'file copies' and after it starts the System Attendant and Directory. The error is: "While attempting to start the MS Exchange Event Service, the following error was encountered: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion. MS Windows NT ID no: 0xc002041d. I click OK, then I get the same error again and the service pack install quits. Previous to installing the update I did the following: - admin /t nr (to stop the server monitors on my other servers) - stopped all Exchange, UPS, SNMP, and ArcServe backup agent services. I found a KB article (Q182513) but it didn't offer any help. As I understand it, the Event Service should not run on a bridgehead server that has no Public store - so why do I get this error? Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
