My client has an Win 2000 Network running in native mode.

Some one else set up the server.

They have Exchange 2000 on a WIN2K Server.

AD is loaded on the exchange server.

They have another DC with AD and DNS loaded. It Died.

I configured another server to run DNS and I ran DCPromo to make it a DC

Problem is that the Exchange System Attendent hangs and will not start.

Any help would be appreciated.
