You don't backup Exchange by shutting the services down, you need to perform a full online backup using an Exchange aware backup program: http://www.msexchange.org/articles/MF020.html Mark Fugatt MCSE, MCT, Microsoft Exchange MVP Pentech Office Solutions Inc Rochester, NY Tel: 585 586 3890 Cell: 585 576 4750 http://www.4mcts.com http://www.exchangetrainer.com -----Original Message----- From: Elmar [mailto:elmar.gailitis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, May 12, 2004 10:29 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Close MS Exchange2000 Services http://www.MSExchange.org/ I need a batch file which closes all the required MSE and other services so I can perform a full MS Exchange2000 backup with CA Backup. I am not a Win2000 tech but can execute batch files etc. If there is another which would restart these services, it would stop me having to reboot the server and restart that way. I have MS Exchange2000 on my W2000 DC server Thank you ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------
