How is the server connected? Make sure you have the most up to date NIC drivers.
Was there anything in the app event log at all that might assist?

Generally speaking, no it's not, but I am considering that IMS might be processing too much mail, pegging out the processor, and somehow causing the service to hang. This machine does do a few other network functions, ie: WINS, PDC, STMP, but I don't think they stress the server either.

I usually leave it as default, which is what? 30 inbound, 20 outbound? Is this server stressed?

The other part of my question, which I guess I am also interested in your comments on, is in regards to the max connections, both inbound and outbound. Any thoughts, positive or negative?

I just reran the performance optimiser, and in a couple months, we will have the dmz up and then IMS is getting reinstalled on another machine and hopefully at that point SP4 will also get installed. Thanks, MZ -----Original Message----- From: Lefkovics, William [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 14, 2002 11:42 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: IMS hung up again... 1) rerun performance optimiser. or 2) Apply Service Pack 4. Then rerun Performance Optimiser. or 3) remove and reinstall the IMS. Repply service pack 3, then rerun performance optimiser. William Lefkovics -----Original Message----- From: Mike Zatkalik [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 14, 2002 9:31 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: IMS hung up again... This is the 3rd time my IMS hung over the past 3 months. I am not sure what happened, as I do not see any errors in the Event Log. When trying to stop the IMS, it timed out after approximately 15 mins with a message essentially saying it could not be stopped. When trying to restart it, I get a message saying it cannot be started in it's current state. Same thing happens when I try to stop all the Exchange related services. I was talking with a buddy who recommends lowering the max inbound and outbound connections, but mine are set to defaults and just wondering if anybody else agrees, or disagrees, with this thought. They are currently at default, which is 30 inbound, 20 outbound. Any other suggestions?
