Hi John,

Any errors in the Event logs?

Can you take a snapshot of the screen and post it to one of the image
posting sites, such as photobucket.com or imageshack.com so we can what
you mean?

Thanks,

FYI, it's always recommended to not install Exchange on a DC. If it is,
it drastically reduces preformance of Exchange because a DC disables
write-behind cache to facilitate AD database functions, however it can
hurt Exchange by possibly losing emails during a suddent power outage.
It also affects a DC's performance, and makes it difficult to restore
if lost.

If it's SBS, that is a different story.

Also note, when backing up Exchange, always back it up separate from a
System State backup. If you back it up together with a System State
backup, the Exxchange portion of the backup becomes useless. This is
due to the way it backs it up.

Ace
