I'm trying to setup Exchange 2003 to start IMAP services automatically, but everytime I try to start them I get the following error:

Error 26: The specified module could not be found.

I've been to the MS site and can't find anything related to this. Any ideas out there for me.

Where are you attempting to "start" Imap?

Exchange's System Manager... or under Services & Applications of Computer Management (or Services mmc snap-in)?

you need to set Microsoft Exchange IMAP4 to "automatic" in Services & Applications (Services in MMC) and then inside Exchange System Manager, you need to start IMAP there..

you can have it set for manual in services ... but I've seen it take to long to start that way..

I have IMAP4 set to automatic in Services and when I try to start the service in ESM it times out and never starts. I get this message in the event viewer:

The Microsoft Exchange IMAP4 service terminated with the following error:
The specified module could not be found.

Is it possible the person who installed Exchange didn't install it completely?
