Hello Andrew, had the same problem yesterday: 1) installed W2K SP2, 2) installed hotfix of bulletin MS01-44 (IIS patches) 3) installed E2K SP1 ==> same error, but manually starting the E2K services worked. 4) installed Q291229 (Windows 2000 Patch: Anonymous Access to Newsgrooups Allowed on Exchange Server, the Q-Article is rerouted) 5) installed Q302755 (MS01-37) restared the server without problem.

Have anyone encountered difficulties upgrading to E2K SP1? Here is what we are having trouble with: W2K/SP2 DC with E2K running fine. After upgrading to E2K SP1 (the upgrade process went fine), The IS will not start with an event ID 7024 "The MS Exchange IS service terminated with service-specific error0." After researching the MS Knowledge Base, and found articles (Q285116, Q283179, Q298429, and Q303186). None of them fits the scenario. They are all checked out according to the articles. The only way I can get the Exchange box back is to reinstall E2K setup again, and click "yes" button a million times to overwrite all "newer" files that SP1 copied over. (Evidently, if you clicked "no for all" button, the same problem persists) Did anyone run into similar problems like this before? TIA for any suggestions.
