3 days ago these nightly crashes caused the Exchange to shut down dirty and
the server was unable to start again (hanging in applying computer settings).
Running safe mode and disabling information store made the server start
normally again, except that IS start caused the server to hang. Trying to
recover or repair with eseutil also caused the server to hang.

I'm not able to get a crash debug as the server still is alive. The mouse is
alive and the clock is updated in the left lower corner, but network services
and the desktop isnt responding. I did also leave the Task Manager open and
this was frozen to.

I've got a BUNCH of clients using Symantec AV Corp 10.2 for Workstations
and Servers, I've removed it and went back to 10.0 because of a lockup
like you describe.

Of all of the customers running 10.2 (actually shows as 10.1.5 I think)
on their servers, every single one of them will lockup without error
without warning, and it's mostly seen when "applying settings" as they
log in. The only way to stop it is a hard reboot. Now that they are on
10.0 we've gone weeks without a single problem.
