Hi,
This is my question. After I installed MS Exchange Server 5.5, I set all the services to manual. How come I have trouble to shut down the information store and system attendant services. Sometimes I shut them down successfully, sometimes I couldn't, especially if I try to shut them down remotely. If you have any ideas regarding this problem, please let me know.
Thanks

Is there any particular reason why you want all of the exchange services started manually? Exchange can be very picky, in that you need to start or shutdown the services in an exact order. For instance, I don't think it would be a great idea to just shutdown the information store service first. I administer a server with Exchange 5.5, and I use a utility to shutdown the services before I am about to reboot or shutdown the server itself. It is called the Exchange services start/stop utility.More information can be found on this utility at this site location:

Hope that helps a little.
