Exchange 5.5 question?

[zilantyas]

Does anyone know the proper order to shutdown Exchange 5.5 services on a Windows NT server?

I know the start (services) order, but what is the stop (services) order?

In advance thanks for the response!

Thanks for the answer 3xp0
But I know the commands to stop and start. But I would like to know in what order should the services for Exchange 5.5 stop! Meaning what service should stop first, so on and so on, to what service should stop last.

When starting the services there is a proper order: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;168739&Product=ech
What is the proper stop order? And it's not the reverse of the start.

Thanks!

here's how I do it



net stop MSExchangeSA /y
net stop MSExchangeDS /y

this will stop all dependent services too



run this to start them

net start MSExchangeSA
net start MSExchangeIS
net start MSExchangeMTA
net start MSExchangeDS
net start MSExchangeIMC


...put into a batch file and this thing runs like a charm for offline backups
