System Attendant service won't start automatically
I am having a problem with the system attentant service starting automatically. Once I log in and manually start the system attendant service and the Exchange MTA Stacks service, everything functions as normal.
This started happening after a recent power outage which shut down the server unexpectedly.
In the event viewer it states that the system attendant sevice failed to start because of the following error %%0
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

The SA starts with the local system account, verify this in the service properties. Please copy and post the exact event here on this thread, I need to see it. Are there any netlogon errors in the system log?
Wait...Is this 5.5 or 2000? the above comments were for E2K.

Sorry, my mistake. E2K.
Yes I checked the properties of the SA, and it is set to log on with the local system account.
No netlogon erorrs in the event viewer but here are some relevant errors that appear when I boot it up.
