Error 2140 - Internet mail service cannot be started

[posulliv]

Has anyone experienced such a problem ?

If so, then I would be grateful if you could share your experience and guide me to a resolution.

Are you restarting a service that once worked or is this a new one? Have you made any changes to the Exchange config?

Please give us more to go on.

IMS won't start if anything significant has changed on the Exchange Server eg MEmory, hard disk or the system was shut down abnormally while exchange was doing something. In this case you need to resycronize the database by running isinteg in the patch mode. Error 2140 is quite common and has many causes and as many resolutions. Try Technet. [sig][/sig]
