EMC Emailxtender 4.81 ( services unable to start )

Hi There,

I am using old physical server with EMC Emailxtender 4.81. When I open up the console to connect to server (local), the error stated that there is a error connecting to admin service in local server.

Then I looked at the services in services.msc in window 2003 server, I also noted that I have tried to restart the services called " LEGATO EmailXtender Administration" . However it come up with error

" The LEGATO EmailXtender Administration service on Local computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the performance logs and alerts service."

Then I looked at performance logs and alerts service, I restart it but it give same error above. So I went to " Computer management to start " Counter logs". It start Performance logs and alerts service successfully.

Then I went to start the legato emailxtender administration again, it give same error.

Any advise and solutions will be very greatly appreciated.

regards

Your best option will be to engage EMC support by opening service request. Support will evaluate state of your server and provide best option depending upon what they find.

Greetings,

Please check of ODBC connections to EmailXtender Database are working.

To find out what could be happening behind the scenes, you can use DebugView from Sysinternals that could be downloaded from technet.microsoft.com

Thanks,

Rajan

Dear Rajan,

Yes you are right, the problem lie with sql server connection. this local server with EMC Emailxtender is being remoted connecting to other server which contain sql server 2005.

The problem is that sql server died on me with no backup.

Please advise how I am able to reinstall sql server 2005 in order to work with EMC Emailxtender with old data intact, which contain a lot of messages, without reinstall whole thing.

EMC server is no longer in use for future archival, but instead, we want to keep it for retrieval of messages only.

I know the issue is considered answered, but I just feel I need to share this info.

Are your services set to DISABLED and currently stopped? When we have to reboot our EX server we run EXStop.cmd, reboot the server and then run EXStart.cmd. The commandlets stop and disable then conversely enable and start all of the appropriate services. We got these from EMC. I am not sure if they are installed with the software or were given to us by support. The contents of the commandlets are as follows:

EXStop.cmd:

@echo off

echo

echo ===================

echo  EmailXtender

echo ===================

echo

echo - Stopping services

sc stop ExAddrRule

sc stop exAdmin

sc stop exArchive

sc stop ExAuditMgr

sc stop exEmail

sc stop ExExchangeMgr

sc stop exHealthCheck

sc stop exIndex

sc stop exQuery

sc stop exXtractService

echo - Disabling startup

sc config ExAddrRule start= disabled

sc config exAdmin start= disabled

sc config exArchive start= disabled

sc config ExAuditMgr start= disabled

sc config exEmail start= disabled

sc config ExExchangeMgr start= disabled

sc config exHealthCheck start= disabled

sc config exIndex start= disabled

sc config exQuery start= disabled

sc config exXtractService start= disabled

echo - Service should be stopped

pause

EXStart.cmd:

@echo off

echo

echo ===================

echo  EmailXtender

echo ===================

echo

echo - Enabling startup

sc config ExAddrRule start= auto

sc config exAdmin start= auto

sc config exArchive start= auto

sc config ExAuditMgr start= auto

sc config exEmail start= auto

sc config ExExchangeMgr start= auto

sc config exHealthCheck start= auto

sc config exIndex start= auto

sc config exQuery start= auto

sc config exXtractService start= auto

echo - Starting Services

sc start ExAddrRule

sc start exAdmin

sc start exArchive

sc start ExAuditMgr

sc start exEmail

sc start ExExchangeMgr

sc start exHealthCheck

sc start exIndex

sc start exQuery

sc start exXtractService

pause

Hope this was helpful.
