Hi all
I recently installed MS Exchange 2003 server on a w2k3 server (with sp1) which is a part of a w2k3 domain in a w2k3 level forrest. The exchange server is NOT a domain controller.
The installation whent fine and extending the schema, domain and forrest succeded without an error as well a the exchange installation.
When i boot the computer after installation i receive an popup window in the logon screen that says: "At least one service or driver failed during system startup. Use event viewer to examine the event log for details." and when i check the event viewer i see 2 error in the application part

Hi,

I have seen similar things happening when the port in the switch that the Exchange server is connected is configured for spanning tree (should be port fast on I believe the name is).

Services will start if you start them manually after logon right?

Hi and thanks for your answer
I am not realy sure what service i should start. because there are many msexchange services that are using that proccess (inetinfo.exe)

Could this be a GC problem regarding the first error i receive.
Since i am new in the exchange world would it be bad idea to promote this member server to a DC with a GC.

Hi
It seems that these error where because of an linux DNS beeing a seconday DNS, for some reson the exchange was talking to the secondary server insted of the primary... i configured the exchange as a DNS an changed the network configurations an everything worked after that

thanks alot guys
