I guess he got it fixed. He was running on Exchange 2000 SP2. He applied SP3.
Another emergency happened though - after SP3 his Information Store service would not start due to service specific error 0. He then told me that before applying SP3 he had backed up the whole server, INCLUDING the M: drive. >:0 I told him to stop all remaining Exchange services, rename the Exchange BIN directory and run setup /disasterrecovery He is reporting now that everything is working after that. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Scharff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 2003 11:29 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Re: one more SMTP puzzle BTW, seems to work fine from here: 220 web01.domain.mistrycc.com Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 5.0.2195.5329 ready at Wed, 15 Jan 2003 11:21:29 -0500 ehlo foo.bar 250-web01.domain.mistrycc.com Hello [216.30.136.98] 250-TURN 250-ATRN 250-SIZE 250-ETRN 250-PIPELINING 250-DSN 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-8bitmime 250-BINARYMIME 250-CHUNKING 250-VRFY 250-X-EXPS GSSAPI NTLM LOGIN 250-X-EXPS=LOGIN 250-AUTH GSSAPI NTLM LOGIN 250-AUTH=LOGIN 250-X-LINK2STATE 250-XEXCH50 250 OK On 1/15/03 8:52, "Andrey Fyodorov" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: This time I am helping a friend of mine.
