Downloaded filemon from Sysinternals and had no luck. From the look of logs being generated all everything is as it should. All I can tell at this point is that I'm unable to locate and check permissions on this one file: seckm.dll Any further assistance is appareciated. -----Original Message----- From: Eric Lanyon [mailto:elanyon@xxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, April 22, 2002 5:50 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Re: Jacked up Exchange server!!! http://www.MSExchange.org/ Hmm...maybe try Filemon from Systernals when you try to start the mailbox management process. The program shows what files are being accessed or attempted to accessed. Might show if you are missing a file or if it's in the wrong place. But before using...be warned it could cause a BSoD....had it happen to me once. So I would do it when you can afford a reboot. A shot in the dark. >>> marvc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 04/22/02 02:36PM >>> http://www.MSExchange.org/ I've performed the procedures outlined in this document a few times now. I've set the logging level to maximum and I still get the same error when attempting to Start the Mailbox Management Process. I don't get any errors in the Event logs relating to any of these these files. As I stated earlier I am pretty new with exchange so maybe I'm overlooking something. I'm thinking this may have something to do with eithere WMI or DNS but I'm not sure. Right now I'm unable to connect to WMI from this server. I receive the following error when attempting to connect to the Monitoring tab of the System Manager: Unable to connect to the WMI service You will not be able to see the current status of the monitored resources and cannot add disk or service monitoring resources.

I have reason to believe that my exchange server install is completely screwed up and need to know if there's anyway to resolve this without having to rebuild my entire network?? 1. From what I can tell the exchange service isn't starting. 2. If i go to my AD users & computers console I see what appears to be an OU for Microsoft Exchange System Objects, but its not a folder, it looks as though its not associated with anything. 3. If i attempt to start the mailbox management process via the System Manager, I get an error that the Microsoft Exchange System Attendant Service is unavailable. ID no: c1031668 This is the 2nd time I've un-inistalled and re-installed this exchange server. Can anyone shed some light onto this otherwise dismal situation? :-< TIA ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSExchange.org Discussion List as: elanyon@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub') ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSExchange.org Discussion List as: marvc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub') ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSExchange.org Discussion List as: elanyon@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub') ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSExchange.org Discussion List as: marvc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub')
