I always use: Control Panel -> Services -> highlight System Attendant -> right-click and select "stop".
It doesn't matter which ones you stop first. If you stop the wrong one, all dependent ones will stop first, so you don't make any egregious errors. Be sure to manually stop the spooler service, as well. Sometimes it likes to take advantage of the extended service shutdown times Exchange allows on the server.

My predecessor here has it drilled into everyone that you have to use his batch script to stop Exchange services in a certain order. I know the info store stopping cleanly is the biggest one you want. Has anyone seen or use something like this to shut down the services in a certain order vs. letting NT take them down in the dependency order upon shutdown? _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
