Re: Turn off services outside the Windows

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

first of all, thank you Dave and Ace very and very much without your help, I
would not still be working here :).

In regards to Safe mode, it was not about the issue, I am able to get into
the Safe mode now.

The issue was that all Exchange services somehow could not start they all
were in status "starting" that is why it was hung at "Applying computer
setting...".
With your help Ace, I was able to connect that computer via computer
management in order to disable them.
And now I am able to log on that server, and troulbeshoot what happened.

Much appreciated your great help both of you.

Regards

Hi Ace And Dave.

thanks for the help.

it is wins 2003 R2, not a DC.

it is only hanging at Applying computing setting. Not a blue screen.
I suspect the Exchange info store service is the cause. Because before I
restarted the server, I could not restart this service -- it failed.

I have not been able to get into Recovery console. First I need a RAID
driver for this server, second I don't have a RC password for this server.
at the moment, I can ping this server, even access to shared files on this
server.
how can I change this RC password via another server say DC) ?

Thanks and Regards



Dave gave you a nice link to reset the local admin password.

As for Exchange services, I am very surprised that it is not going into Safe
Mode. This is not caused by Exchange. Exchange is just another app with a
bunch of services running. Safe Mode does not run non-required services.
It's designed to allow you to get into a machine to disable or fix services
that are causing problems in normal mode.

You have to figure out first why you can't get into safe mode. Maybe an
operating system re-install in Upgrade mode. It will preserve all installed
apps and settings.

My feeling is that this may have been a virus or some other nasty causing
it.
