Ugent help with Exchange 2003 System attendant

[Guest Flaps]

We are having issues with our exchange 2003 server. For some reason, the

Exchange System Attendant wont start. It comes up with Error 1068: The

depedency or service group failed to start

 

We need a fix asap as there are alot of people in our company which rely on

the exchange server to run (for obvious reasons).

 

All permissions are in place, we have restarted DNS, and rebooted our Active

Directory servers.

 

Please advise

 

Regards

Hello Flaps,

 

Check the size of the disk where the database and the transaction logs are

stored, If the disk is full Exchange stops working, because it needs to write

the logs.

We have checked the disks, and they are currently fine. They have plenty of

space avaliable...

 

We are currently running that tool advised by JohnB (thnks btw John) and

done some changes, we are now getting the error saying that there is an

account login failure.

Hello Flaps,

 

Under services.msc check the Exchange services, which account is used there?

Re: Ugent help with Exchange 2003 System attendant

 

Sorry Peter, What we have decided to do is build a new exchange, it seems

that the one we got is pretty much on its last legs, and has been having

problems now for a while.

Luckily we have full backups of everything and the priv and pub files to

transfer accross to the new exchange.

 

Sorry if it feels like I am ignoring your help, it was quite the opposite

and I appreciate everyones involvement with this.

 

It is a case of urgency as we have a number of users all over the country

needing an exchange to be running.

 

But thanks all for your help, again, much appreciated.
