There are a lot of references to event id 7011 out there. I found a few Q-articles on support.microsoft.com that suggest some potential fixes. What version of Exchange are you running? One of the articles referencing E2K seems to point to some sort of corruption to the database (well in this case, a corrupt message or messages). When you say front-end, does it also serve as an SMTP bridgehead by any chance? What's in the SMTP queues? Any messages stuck by any chance? Does mailflow seem to be working as usual? Are you seeing any events in the system log that could indicate any hard disk issues? What made you think it was a Veritas issue? When you say you 'try to download Microsoft updates' what are you downloading and how are you doing so? Operating System or Exchange? Have you tried downloading patches to another system and then transfer them to the server for installation? First and foremost (should have put this first, sorry): Can you get a good backup, and do you have the configuration documented in the event of failure? I did find (since you reference a thumb drive) this: http://forums.us.dell.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=pes_win2k&mes sage.id=3521 although I can't vouch for it.
