But somehow , I am not convinced .So I have culled out the following from my Event Viewer's Application Log (in the same order in which they appeared in the Event Viewer's Application Log , top to bottom) : Source : MS Exchange SA Category : Monitoring EID : 1005 (MS Ex) Unexpected error <<0xc0040000 - The Microsoft Exchange Server computer is not available. Either there are network problems or the Microsoft Exchange Server computer is down for maintenance.
