Guest Todd Posted December 12, 2007 Posted December 12, 2007 I have a windows 2003 server that has Exchange running on it. Yesterday the server started to freeze and upon reboot it hung on applying personal settings. I restarted in safe mode and made sure that the APC service was disabled. System rebooted after about 3 hours. Once restarted IIS would not start and therefore exchange was not working. I ran msconfig and did a diagnostic start up and they system started relatively quickly. I then changed to normal startup and shut down the Server, upon restart none of the services would start, message is Configuration Manager: plug and play service or some other service is not running. The only service that is running is RPC Server, but when I try to start the service it says that RPC server is not running. I am at a loss here even my licenses in license manager disappeared. The only new software was installed 6 weeks ago and that was symantec protection for Exchange. I can't uninstall that as the windows installer service is not running and I cannot start it.

Guest Todd Posted December 12, 2007 Posted December 12, 2007 Re: Windows Services will not start cannot access the event logs in Safe Mode they are blank. I had been getting a VBrun error, general network, but that was it.

guyhlupi Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Re: Windows Services will not start Todd, we had the same problem with approximately 10 Exchange servers that we recently deployed. Intermittent freezes which typically occur during or immediately after a backup. We have not yet determined the root cause but we found that if we revert Symantec back to version 10D it stops the freezes. Give that a shot for now and I will post here when we find a resolution. cannot access the event logs in Safe Mode they are blank. I had been getting a VBrun error, general network, but that was it.
