Steps to troubleshoot a System Attendant service startup problem:
- The System Attendant service depends on the
following services:
EventLog
OLE
NtLmSsp
RPCLocator
RPCSS
LanmanWorkstation
LanmanServer
Verify that all the dependency services have started. - Check that the service account used to start the System Attendant
and other services is a member of the Administrators group on the
Exchange Server computer.
- Pviewer.exe is a tool that comes with the Microsoft Windows NT Resource
Kit. This tool can be used to check System Attendant activity. In
Pviewer.exe, look for Mad, which is the System Attendant executable.
- Check the event log and filter using source MSEXCHANGESA to determine
more information.
