Service ‘MSExchangeTransport’ failed
A few months ago I had an Exchange Server 2007 install stop cold, caughing up this error: Error: Service ‘MSExchangeTransport’ failed to reach status ‘Running’ on this server.

Most of these companies have a full system backup running, but upon complete failure a restore will take a few hours minimum. One such outage and the cost of labor to pay an IT professional to [...]
