He means in the Exchange patching sequence.
When Exchange gets patched, the Exchange services get disabled. At the
last part of the process they get turned back on. Any hiccup along the
way can leave the services disabled.
Can you post up the Exchangesetup log? As that's the key diagnostic
tool here.

Hey Michael,
There were several windows updates as well as exchange sp2 ru 7 queued to be
installed through SCCM Software Center. I didn't notice the exchange patch and
set the whole lot to install and something happened to the Software Center and
it crashed.
Looks like two .net patches were left and part of sp2 ru 7 was installed.
Reapplying
the two .net patches and using fscutil to disable/enable forefront got things
back in
order.
That's the first time I have ever seen Software Center fail, but it's also the
first time
I have ever applied exchange patches through it.
Anyway, as I originally planned I am now applying exch sp3 and ru1...
Thanks!
