  www service keeps disabling Reply Contact Why does the www service on my new exchange server keep disabling itself? Our original server is an Exchange 2000 and it runs fine. We have added an Exchange 2003 server to the network and it runs fine, except that the www service keeps disabling itself. I have to enable and start it a couple times a day or more. What could cause this? Original Server Specs: Windows 2000 SP4 Exchange 2000 Enterprise - Version 6.0 (Build6249.4: Service Pack 3) New server Specs: Windows 2003 Enterprise SP2 Exchange 2003 Enterprise - Version 6.5 (Build 7638.2: Service Pack 2)

  Re: www service keeps disabling Reply Contact If this is a clean server and only Exchange is installed, you may post the question to our Exchange forum. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/category/exchangeserver/ Exchange has its own rules and it can sometimes bring down IIS.  Regards, Lex Li Support Engineer at Microsoft --------------------------- This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Is there anything relevant in the server's system or application event logs?

  Re: www service keeps disabling Reply Contact That's odd that there are no entries for the WWW service entering a stopped state or reason for a crash.  One thing I would suggest is install and run DebugView on the exchange server that your're having this issue with: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896647.aspx  With that you can run a dump trace on your server to see if there are any clues as to why the WWW Service keeps crashing.  If all else failes, You can resintall the WWW service to see that corrects any issues.  Rafael Marrero Technical Support Representative www.serverintellect.com Managed Servers, 24x7 U.S. Support, Web Hosting Solutions.
