service stop/start order

[paulovey]

Hi guys,

Just a quick one, I need to get the following batch files confirmed that the services are being stopped and started in the correct order.

TIA.

If this is for a backup solution use NTBackup and do it right. Dan

Yes its for a backup solution for a system we have inherited from another company.

They are using Arcserve 2000, to backup. We are looking at
getting them to use the exchange agent so we can backup
individual mailboxes, but as a interim measure we just need
to use the batch file workaround..

Why not do as Xybertron suggested in another thread (can't find it now) do an online backup of exchange to a file with NTBackup before the regular backup. This will flush all the logs and be useful in a restore.

It seems like a better solution to me.
