I have seen something
similar to this before. I had installed Exchange2k and rebooted the
server. The services would fail to start and I could not start them
manually. I ended up re-installing everything on the box and tried
rebooting again, same thing happened. I reinstalled a third time and
then I installed Exchange service pack 2 before I rebooted, and everything
came up fine. I have talked with a few people after the fact and they
had no explanation as to what exactly was going on, but it worked with
SP2. On similar hardware I have been able to reproduce the scenario, so
maybe it has something to do with the hardware configuration.
At any rate, you
can’t install service pack 2 unless all services are running, so you have to
install it right after you install Exchange, BEFORE the initial reboot.
I hope this helps with your problem. As a side note, I did NOT install
Exchange on a DC, it was a member server.

2000
I am in the
process of setting up Exchange 2000 on one of our DC's and when I finish the
install and reboot, I receive an error that a service failed to load. The
Exchange information store is the service that will not start. I did some
searches on the error and found little info. I tried uninstalling and
reinstalling Exchange and this did not help the problem. Has anyone had this
problem on initial setup? I am also looking for info on configuring an AD
connector to exchange, any tips or suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks
