    Hi,

    We have DAG environment, one of the node's ( Exchange Server 2010 SP3 & Windows Server 2008 R2 ) System Attendant Service failed to start and getting following error.

    All the Domain controllers ( Windows Server 2012 R2 ) are GCs and communicated with all exchange servers.

    Any idea please. ?

    Hi Guys,

    I solved the problem myself. I found that the local Administrator account password was expired or somebody changed with some policy and It was showing me that check mark as " User Must Change the password at next Logon" @ User Account properties.

    Hence, I just reset the password and put password never expired to the Local Administrator Account.

    After that I started the service and it is Started.

    Thanks.

    Regards,Ali

    Hi Guys,

    Unfortunately the same method doesn't work for another Second Mailbox Server. 

    Mailbox Server 1 solved by resetting the password but Mailbox Server 2 has the same issue to start the System Attendant Service.

    Any advise please. ?

    Regards,Ali

    Hello,

    Is there any error event ID in the application log about the SA service stopped?

    Thanks,
