TC020602TB TECHNOLOGY BRIEF (cont.) Microsoft Exchange 2000 Consolidation Using ProLiant Essentials Workload Management Pack ... Registry Setting for Exchange 2000 The Windows 2000 service manager automatically starts the RPM service. A system administrator can configure individual partitions to allow Resource Partitioning Manager to start one or more partitions automatically. When RPM launches the partition containing store.exe (configured to start automatically), the store.exe process starts. This creates a problem when the Exchange 2000 Information Store Service also attempts to start the store.exe process. If the Exchange 2000 Information Store detects that the store.exe process is already running, Information Store Service and other Exchange 2000 services that are dependent upon the Information Store Service will fail. To avoid this problem, an administrator can manually create a DependOnService service entry in the RPM service registry key, as shown in Figure 3. The DependOnService entry specifies the MSExchIS service. This ensures that the Exchange Information Store Service (store.exe) is started before the RPM service is launched. When the RPM service is started, the partition that contains the store.exe process activates and acquires the store.exe process. There are no special requirements or dependencies for starting the supporting maintenance applications. Figure 3. Registry Settings for Exchange 2000 and RPM 8
