SMTP wont start in IIS

bloodhacker2 · 09-Feb-2010, 05:13 PM #1

At the moment i am using windows server 2000 SP4, I use SMTP to send emails to customers on my auction website.

When i go to IIS to start the SMTP i get the following error:

The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

Check the windows event viewer for details.

I have tried:

Checking the registry files that Microsoft told me to check.

everything seems to be fine, but even when i restart the server i get the same error.

I don't want to reinstall the IIS because of the extent of my site..

I am not to savvy on SMTP, but if you could lead me to some troubleshooting instructions i would be extremely happy.

Thanks...

hi, you don't need to uninstall & reinstall IIS you can just uninstall SMTP service from Add/remove programs > Add/ Remove Windows Components
