What are the service dependancies within Exchange Server?

June 27, 2001 by Wayne Small 1 Comment

Stopping the SA through the control panel or net stop most certainly does not stop services based on a timeout. It clearly brings up an interface that says “To stop this, I must stop these other things”, then if you answer Yes, proceeds to do so. In fact the control panel does better than the net stop commands in some ways – it is aware of the nested dependencies. The reason you have to run three net stop commands is that net stop can only track one level of dependencies. So, if I have all the services running, I have a dependency tree similar to:

System Attendant
Directory
Information Store
IMS
Event Service
KMS
INS
MTA

Net stop will figure out all the levels, but the first time you run it it will stop the IMS, Event Service, KMS, INS plus one level up – the IS. But then it quits. The second time you run “net stop msexchangesa” the MTA and Directory will get stopped. The third time, the SA gets stopped. There’s apparently a bug in the recursion that stops it too soon.
