Ok, we ended up removing the exchange 2k3 install, fixing up the domain owner issue by siezing the role holder for the Domain Naming Operations master to a server that actually exists, re-ran all of the ADC/AD tools to make sure everything was in order, and then re-installed Exchange 2k3.
This time, all of the services would start as per normal EXCEPT for the MTA stacks.. these will not start. I have already done some fairly intensive looking about on the web (both knowledgebase AND google.com) only to find that this issue is not particularly common. Basically cranked up the MTA logging to full blast and started the service, the following was logged: Start Service Event ID: 2219 - MTA running recovery on internal message database due to MTA not shutting down cleanly Event ID: 2206 - MTA database recovery option is now checking queue:(queuename). Event ID: 2167 - Bunch of notices about cleaning up the queues and re-assigning things to them, informational only Event ID: 2207 - MTA Recovery operation completed sucessfully. Points to a log file, the named file contains no errors. Event ID: 9405 - Unexpected error has occured which may cause MTA to terminate. Error: Init Routing API returned error - 1073478776 Event ID: 137 - Fatal directory error occured. Event ID: 9406 - Not enough performance monitor memory to display the MTA connections info. Stop attached performance monitors and restart MTA Service is stopped at this point. Only found one other forum where a person had the same issue but it was unresolved. Can anyone provide some clues as to what this might indicate. We re-installed MSX cleanly into new directories and stuff, so its not left over files (that I would know of anyway). Cheers and thanks for all of your feedback with the recent questions about MSX, Luke _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
