Rebooting the server is fiune as the services will start in the correct order based on dependancies. Are you saying that rebooting your server IS or IS NOT working correctly?
That is defintely not normal. What errors are you getting when the server starts up?Jeff Schertz, PointBridge | MVP | MCITP: Enterprise Messaging | MCTS: OCS
One thing we had to do is add retries for some of our services. Due to the number of services that were trying to start at startup, some of the OCS services failed, so we used the "recovery" option for some services and now we don't have a problem.
