I do have the same problem with a ML350 G5 server running SBS2003 at a
customer site. It has been hanging several times when the users arrives in
the morning always after the backup has finished. This customer uses Symantec
backup exec.
3 days ago these nightly crashes caused the Exchange to shut down dirty and
the server was unable to start again (hanging in applying computer settings).
Running safe mode and disabling information store made the server start
normally again, except that IS start caused the server to hang. Trying to
recover or repair with eseutil also caused the server to hang.
I'm not able to get a crash debug as the server still is alive. The mouse is
alive and the clock is updated in the left lower corner, but network services
and the desktop isnt responding. I did also leave the Task Manager open and
this was frozen to.
I have been trying to make the server work again all weekend and have tried
totally new hardware, updated firmware and proliant support pack with no
luck. I have repaired the Exchange database on a XP workstation using eseutil
/p and this worked.
Hope someone finds a solution on this problem soon.
Best regards, Lars Hermansen
