Sorry it took so long. actually forgot this question was open. I'm going to give the points to Marc due to the fact that initially he was right.<br />
It just turned out to be the worst weekend of my life. I did finally, late sunday, get the server up and running...<br />
Thanks

Here's the scenerio. I'm moving our main exchange off of a cluster (2 node) to a stand alone. Without going into the details (until I need to), everything went fine. I used the disasterrecovery switch for the Exchange install. I've gone into exchange system manager to mount the stores but cannot. When I look at the default virtual server, I noticed it was not running. When I try to start it, I get the message &quot;you have to strart this from the cluster administrator&quot; problem is, I'm no longer on a cluster. Help!!!(and thanks).
