i need someone who is good with networking
i'm having some friggin' pain in the *** problems getting my exchange server to start up. we keep having this problem, where the services (mta stacks, information store, routing engine) won't start, no matter how many times you try and start them. earlier today we had the issue, and we had to re-format our server to get it to work, and start from scratch with Active Directory.
so i came across this problem tonight, reformatted the server, installed DNS and made it a domain controller, got all my ip settings good, installed exchange 2003, and now it's doing it again right off the bat. i keep getting the "the dependency service or group failed to start." message. i double checked the dependencies and they're all started.
i have slept maybe a total of 8 hours combined these last 3 days, had to take night watch tonight, and i got people who are up my *** about getting our network back up, but i'm stumped and i am losing my cool. anyone got some ideas?

Have you talked to Microsoft PSS? Its $245 per case, not per hour like some other vendors.. so you can keep the case open as long as neccessary until you find a valid working solution..

If all else fails, get a credit card and open an incident with MS. They will get it running.

fortunately i'm with the military so we get all kinds of tech support (although not all of it is worth a damn). i found a walkthrough from someone that saved it from communications school, tried following their steps, and it's up and running. i started formatting at around 11 pm, and finished around 3:30 to 4 am.
so now i'm just sitting here on a server i set up to test programs and network utilities on (and of course to browse LS1tech in the middle of the night). i haven't heard of PSS. i always just searched TechNet for my problems, that and google.

on another note, i installed WSUS today to get some practice with it, and it installed fine but when i go to access the console, i keep getting an error like the page is down. checked the event viewer, and this is what i got:
The SelfUpdate Tree is not working. Clients may not be able to update to the latest WUA client software and communicate with the WSUS Server.
anybody had this problem?

ok after some fiddling around, i got iis to start properly. now, when i go to start the WSUS console, it's telling me it can't connect to my ADMINSERVER because it may be using another port or a different Secure Sockets Layer setting. i can't figure out anything that's using that port.
