Hi, I have problem on one of the exchange cluster server, where Http virtual server and SMTP virtual server resources keep on failing on all available nodes. Its 8 node cluster - 4 active & 4 passive. I did see the Event 1012 source: W3SVC on the system log and the error message was, "A process serving application pool 'ExchangeApplicationPool' exceeded time limits during start up. The process id was '10540'." Please advice on this. Thanks, Vinay
