  • Event service
  • MDB
  • Directory service
  • System Attendant
Setup successfully shuts down the MTA and Internet Mail Service but fails to shut down the Event service.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem:
  1. Restart the server to stabilize the Exchange Server services.
  2. Manually stop the event server service.
  3. Restart Exchange Server 5.5 Setup.
