DOCUMENT:Q190697 22-JUN-2001 [exchange] TITLE :XADM: Mt.exe Unable to Locate DLL on Startup PRODUCT :Microsoft Exchange PROD/VER: OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft BackOffice Small Business Server versions 4.0, 4.0a - Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== After you perform a complete custom installation of Exchange Server through the Exchange Server Setup, the following error message may appear: Window title: MT.EXE unable to locate DLL Description: The dynamic link library address.dll could not be found in the specified path c:\exchsrvr\connect\msmcon\bin;;c:\winnt.sbs\system32;c:\winnt.sbs\system; c:\winnt.sbs;c:\winnt.sbs\system32;c:\winnt.sbs;c:\mssql\binn. After you click OK, the following error message from Service Control Manager appears: At least one service or driver failed during system startup. Use event viewer to examine the event log for details. The event viewer system log shows the following: Event ID 7000 Source: Service control manager Description: The MS Mail connector Interchange service failed to start due to the following error: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion. followed by: Event ID 7009 Source: Service control manager Description: Timeout (120000 milliseconds) waiting for service to connect. CAUSE ===== When you perform a complete custom installation through Exchange Setup, the Exchange Setup installs the Microsoft Exchange Connector for Lotus cc:Mail and the Microsoft Mail Connector by default and sets the Microsoft Mail Connector service (MS Mail Connector interchange) to automatic by default. Small Business Server does not allow these services to run; thus, the error messages appear. WORKAROUND ========== There are four possible ways to work around this problem: - Set the MS Mail Connector interchange service to manual start. To do this, go to Control Panel, click Services, and select MS Mail Connector Interchange service. Click Startup with this service highlighted. Then set startup type to manual. Click OK and restart. - Reinstall Exchange Server using a Complete Custom installation. Click the Change Options button for the Exchange Server during Setup, clear (uncheck) the check boxes for the connectors, and continue Setup. - Uninstall Exchange Server and reinstall as follows: 1. On Control Panel, select Add/Remove programs. 2. On the Install/Uninstall tab, select Microsoft Small Business Server Setup. 3. On the Microsoft Small Business Server setup window, select Exchange Server and click Next. 4. Enter the administrator password and click Next. - The Small Business version of Exchange Server can be upgraded to Full Package Exchange Server. The full package product allows for Microsoft Mail Connector, Microsoft Exchange Connector for Lotus cc:Mail, or other connectors, depending on the version installed.
