Re: Exchange services not starting...

Seth, I appreciate the replies but you're not helping me any and I'm not a
newbie. I've already gone through the obvious steps of checking that each
service is set to auotmatically start, looked at the event logs and looked
into the appropriate error codes, all without finding an answer so far.
Now, if you cannot help or offer any other suggestions other than what I've
gone through, that's ok...just let me know and I'll continue to look
elsewhere.
Is there an MS article about this issue anywhere? If so, where because I
haven't been able to locate any. Has anyone had this same type of situation?
If so, what did you do to correct it and troubleshoot the issue?

TIA,

Ken
