SBS 2011 - Exchange 2010
My SBS 2011 has quit sending & receiving emails with both internal and external email addresses.
SMTP seems not to be getting through via testconnectivity.microsoft
* I have checked and double checked the router and port 25 is forwarding to the SBS box.
* Ran the Fix my Connection Wizard
* I have run EXBPA on the box - First Administrative Group scan returns the following:
"Exchange server <server name> is down or unreachable. This could be the result of a network or permissions problem. Error: The network path was not found"
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Looks like the POP3 service does not want to start error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start.
I removed the pop3 connector via SBS 2011 Standard Console -> Connectivity and restarted MS Exchange AD Topology...
No change...

The POP3 service is probably not required, and has no bearing on this fault.
Were you able to telnet to port25 on the server?

Sorry - forgot to mention that Telnet also fails locally.
Can you confirm if MS exchange transport service is started or no ?
Also check event viewer and check for MS exchange Transport related issues.

The Transport service is set to automatic start?
ASKER
This worked: "rename the queue folder and try to start the Transport service"
Thanks Hariom!
Thanks Hariom!
Are any services on your server set to automatic start, and not running? (a couple should be, but none of the exchange related ones).
Can you telnet to port 25 on the server itself?
