Monday, January 12, 2009 2:33 PMThanks for the solution. If the service start up is set to automatic and the server hasn't been rebooted, any idea why the service would suddenly stop?

i am facing similar issues on exchange 2k7 servers....

Saturday, October 03, 2009 9:04 AMThanks ..I have just upgraded to win 2008/exch 2007 and have had several issues but am almost there. Thanks for this solution ..I can't believe it was that simple. Strange though the service was on automatic so maybe there is a bug in this new sw.

Wednesday, September 08, 2010 8:56 PMWhat a convoluted error message! Could just say "Exchange System Management Service may be stopped" or, "A critical service is not started".

Sorry to bump a very old thread, but I am having this problem but starting the service is not the complete answer. When I attempt to start the service, it stops right away, giving the following error:
The Microsoft Exchange System Attendant service on the Local Computer started and then stopped.
The event log entry says:
Unexpected error No authority could be contacted for authentication. ID no: 80090311 Microsoft Exchange System Attendant occurred.
Any ideas? THANKS! -

Wednesday, August 24, 2011 8:44 AMIf you have cluster mailbox, check if the service is online in Failover Cluster Management console, after you start it via services.msc.
