I have Exchange 2007 installed on domain controller with all roles, when i tried to upgrade to sp1 ,installation failed half way through and now none of exchange services are starting. IF SP1 installation has failed halfway then you should try to install it without any failures. I think during SP1 installation some of the EXEs have been removed so services are not starting. Goto service properties and check the path of the EXE being used by this service and check whether EXE exists. I have also suffered it once and only solution at that time was to complete the sp1 installation. Run the SP1 installer again and tell us what errors (if any) it throws.

Hi Salman, First, please note installing Exchange on domain controller is not recommended. I understand some services are stopped, can you manually start them? If not, what’s the error? Please install Exchange 2007 Service Pack 1 again and let us know what’s the error encountered during the installation. Thanks, Elvis
