Does the event viewer show anything?

I know you said you check for viruses and worms, but have you installed the MSBlaster patch

Have you installed the SBS 2000 SP1a (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=F4FC58D0-1FAC-4927-84D7-189FA1B690BE&displaylang=en)

Non sbs service pack only the most upto date windows 2000 and exchange service packs

Have you installed the SBS 2000 SP1a (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=F4FC58D0-1FAC-4927-84D7-189FA1B690BE&displaylang=en)

The service pack is a good idea, as it includes loads of fixes. Also you might look into Upgrading to SBS 2003, very stable and loads more features.

You also need patches for IIS, especially LockDown etc

Hi JamesC

Did you ever get this problem fixed? I am experiencing the same symptons, and was going to reinstall IIS and Exchange, but after you said this didn't fix the problem i am quite apprehensive.
When you uninstalled and reinstalled IIS, did you check to make sure the metabase.bin file was removed?

Looking forward to hearing back from you
