Exch 2003 and SQL 2005
A short while ago I setup a new Exch 2003 server, updated and SP'd it. Once
done, it ran fine but it wasn't going to be used right away, so I unmounted
the information store and basically turned it off. Since then, the group it's
intended for, installed SQL 2005 on the same server. Now, after that install,
none of the Exch services will start/ allowing Exch to come bac online. I've
seen messages here and there talking about SBS 2003 and Exch 2003 but I
haven't seen or found anything explaining Enterprise Server 2003 and Exch
2003 with SQL 2005.
I was discussing this with others in my company and it was their belief that
SQL was occupying ports Exch needs to run. This is something that was meant
to be completed by now. With Exch not running, it has turned into a stumbling
block. The resources on the server should be ample to supply the need for
both items, Exch and SQL. Here are the details:
WinServer 2003 R2, SP2
Intel Duo 2.4GHz with 4 GB of memory
MS Exch 2003
SQL 2005
Any help with this would be 'really' appreciated.

Error messages & event log errors would be a good place to start......

Re: Exch 2003 and SQL 2005
Thank you for all the replies everyone. Getting back to it, this is not the
sole Exch server on the network. It is our third, the others are a primary
server, Exch 2003 and a second Exch12. The server in question is intended for
specific mailbox use and to isolate these mailboxes/addresses from the rest
of the servers.
If removing this server from AD and then removing it entirely from the
network once again would be a 'fix' for this problem, perhaps that is what I
need to do. I will admit, I don't look forward to all that right now but I
imagine the ends justify the means. If anyone has any more to add, I would
like to learn about it.

This changes everything; I was assuming it was your only server, so
re-creating the organization was the only option available. If you have two
other working servers, you don't need to do that.
You can indeed remove Exchange from the server, then manually delete it from
the administrative group it belonged to and then finally reinstall Exchange
on it and rejoin it to the organization.
By the way, as you will need to reinstall Exchange on it anyway, maybe you
could look for some other available server; you can run Exchange and SQL
Server on the same machine, but it would be better to avod that.

Re: Exch 2003 and SQL 2005
Can you give me some examples as to why running both on the same server is a
bad idea or something to avoid?
