RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Exchange 2000

I cleared up my install problem. Here is the KB article that I followed to get it working http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;260378. I also applied Exchange SP3 before I rebooted the server.

Thanks

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.

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
