Author Exchange 2000 outage cause Unity not to work

Has anyone experienced a problem with Exchange 2000 going down from
crashes or power outages, etc.... where

It causes Unity not to see the message store. I thought that the UMR was
supposed to wait until it sees the message

Store in exchange is operational then resync itself. I do not think this
is happening with many of our unity servers.

However, when I reboot the Unity box, it comes back up and voice mail is
fine again. How can we avoid this? I guess

My question is does Unity have to be rebooted every time exchange goes
down?





Thanks

We have found the following dependancies required a restart.

Unity > Message Store > Partner Server > Domain Controller

So basically, if any of the servers go down or loose connectivity, you have to restart all of the servers to the left of it.

E.g. if the partner server goes down, you have to restart any other message stores and unity as well.

Just had a TAC case open on this.. The messages get stored in
\\<unityserver>\CommServer\UnityMTA\failed If you move the messages
from failed to unitymta and restart the service all the messages get
delivered without a bunch of reboots.
