We use the kill from the reskit. Then the service starts right back up.

Thanks Ken...  

Able to get on the system, it appears that the web services just hang...
Tried restarting all the web services, but, only recourse is to reboot the
system in-order to get everything back running again.   I will look at
updating all the services with the latest service pack (SP4 for Ex. and
latest for IE) to see it it helps.  ALso, nothing shows up in the Event Log
to give any indication of why the problem occurs..  Bosses are tired of
hearing that we have to reboot in-order to correct the situation...  They
just can't take a joke...

Ron

I just finished fighting this very same thing. I wish that I had some words
of wisdom to impart. I had the same thing running here with the exception
that my Exchange was at sp4.

We had it on a server that also hosted our web page as well. As you said
everyday or so it would just hang. I would go to the server and the screen
saver was just frozen. I even tried to login and wait for it to take effect
thinking that it may just be slow. No dice. I would have to hit the power
and bring it back up. It would run again for from 5 minutes to 13 days.
Again, no rhyme or reason as far as I could tell. The box sat outside the
firewall and communicated via Cisco's VPN client.

I have since removed it from that server and brought it up on a new server
and had no problems. I have no idea what caused the old one to lock up or
why this one is working and the other one did not. The Internet is still
being served from the old one and has not locked up as far as I know since I
took OWA off of it. I see no change in the event logs from then to now.

I'm currently running OWA (Ex.5.5 - SP3) on an NT4.0 SP6a system.  PIII, 866
with 1 gb memory...  On multiple occasions (mostly weekends) the system will
hang and our clients are unable to connect to to the system to get their
mail.
