918.0. "Exchange server installation on Alpha boxes" by DECWET::LOUX () Tue Mar 04 1997 22:05

I currently have an Intel Exchange server, but would like to move to three Alpha machines.  I was trying to
install the server software, and ran into a problem when trying to install Service Pack 2.  I have Windows NT 3.51
Service Pack 5 installed.  I had the same problem when installing over Service Pack 4 of NT.  The installation
process gets to the point of starting the services, and then runs into an error and exits.  When checking logs, I
find that some of the services did not start.  I tried to start them manually, and got an "internal NT error"
message.  I thought it might be the OS, so I reinstalled NT, and started over, with the same result.  I considered
it might be a hardware problem, but the same thing is happening on all 3 Alpha machines.  

I have consulted several people at our location with no success, so any help is much appreciated.

    	Ummm, is there some sort of epidemic in this company with trying
    	to fit 90 characters in an 80-character window?

Lots of people are oblivious to the fact that many in this company live with
80 character restrictions.  I don't think anyone is intentionally rude.

   RE: 918.0/.2

   So you don't think anyone is ignoring you, keep in mind that there are 
   several WNT / Exchange folks at the Micro$oft "NT Wizards" symposium
   in Redmond this week.

   For what it's worth, I have two Exchange servers here in ALF running
   WNT v3.51, Service Pack 5 with Exchange 4.0 and Service Pack 3 using
   AlphaServer 2100A 4/275 processors ... without a problem.  (You are
   using the ALPHA kits, right?)

   Hthy,
