If there's no indication of problems with the disk, try checking the transaction logs to see if a large number of logs were generated in a short period of time corresponding to the hang. I've seen instances where 5.5 SP4 servers become unresponsive to clients as a result of someone attempting to send a *huge* attachment (500Mb+) and it bogged down the server. If this does prove to be the case then consider implementing internal message size limits.

Dollars to donuts your HD went belly-up[1]. At least that would be the first thing to check on a perfectly running Exchange server that nobody's been monkeying with. Check your event/RAID logs (whichever is appropriate). --Andrew Duey, MCSE [1] always wanted to use that phrase[2] [2] and go nutz with footnotes. -----Original Message----- From: Alverson, Thomas M. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 29, 2001 10:51 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: EX5.5 Server just froze up - would post SP4 patches help? Our exchange 5.5 server with sp4 installed just froze up. It was not responding to outlook clients and the cursor was not responsive. I had to resort to the reset button to restart it. Is is possible that a malformed mail message could have caused this? Is there a post SP4 patch that might help? This server has never locked up like this in the last 2 years, and nothing has changed recently.
