Hi all,
We have a customers server 'freeze up' and then forced the server off and booted it up again. However it was getting stuck at 'applying computer settings' and no one could access anything on the server.
I found that if I set the Microsoft Information Store service to Manual, the server boots fine and everything works fine.
As soon as I start MIS, the server freezes and you can't access anything.
I've changed the limits on the public and private stores to 20GB and 50GB just as an easy change so that it's not a limit issue.
However when I start MIS, the whole server freezes.
I did see in the Event Viewer it was recovering Exchange and replaying the log files, but I can't get the Information Store running without the server freezing and having to be forced off again.
I suspect some kind of Exchange corruption.
Any ideas of the best route to go down in terms of a fix?
