SMTP and IIS keep crashing
Hello everyone,
I need urgent help in this matter. I have a Front and Back-End setup with two Exchange 2003 (sp2), and this afternoon the IIS and SMTP started crashing in the Back-End server.
The System Event Viewer is reporting several errors related to IIS and MS Exchange Routing Engine.
Source: Service Control Manager; category: none, Event ID: 7031, and the description is as follows "The IIS Admin Service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 51 time (s). The following corrective action will be taken in 1 milliseconds: Run the configured recovery program.
The second error is also related to IIS; Source: W3SVC, Category: none, Event ID: 1030. The description is as follows, "Inetinfo terminated unexpectedly and the system was not configured to restart IIS Admin. The World Wide Web Publishing Service has shut down.
The third error related to Exchange Routing Engine, has a category of none, Event ID: 7034, and the description is as follows, "The Microsoft Exchange Routing Engine service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 39 time (s).
Fourth error. Source: Service Control Manager, Category: None, Event ID: 7023. Description: The World Wide Web Publishing Service terminated with the following error: The RPC server is unavailable.
APPLICATION LOG ERROR. This log is reporting an error. The source: MS Exchange server, Category: none, Event ID: 1000. Description: "Faulting applicaton inetinfo.exe, version 6.0.3790.1830, stamp 42435bec, faulting module msvcrt.dll, version 7.0.3790.1830, stamp 4243785e, debug? 0, fault address 0x00034186.
I hope someone can help me in this matter.
Thank you,
Nelson

Do you have SP1 applied on Windows Server 2003? If not, you can consider that also.

Apply the update on your front-end server first and then the back-end server.

Amit,
The KB directed me to download KB885881, but when I attempted to install it, I received the following setup error: "Setup has detected that the Service Pack version of this system is newer than the update you are applying. There is no need to install this update."
Any additional suggestion?

Metabase is already corrupted. Un-installing Anti-virus and disabling it from registry, rebooting the server might help. and later on, you can install Anti-virus again.
Otherwise, Uninstalling IIS and reinstaling everything is the last option..

Well,
I would say that first you have to check whether your metabase is corrupted before claiming that it is "already corrupted".
Second - even if it is corrupted it does not have to be connected with antivirus software.
Third - there are two types of corruption, logical and structural. Better start with finding what is happening before uninstalling/installing IIS or Antivirus software.

The Inetinfo.exe process repeatedly crashes and restarts, and "Event ID 7031" and "Event ID 7034" error events are repeatedly logged in the System log in Windows Server 2003
