Exchange Transport Service not working

  • 772

We are hosting a Microsoft Exchange Server. Everything working fine until recently, where the mail transport seems to go wrong. We almost have to restart the service every morning. The thing is that the transport service is started, but the mail are not delivered to the users and senders to our server get a delayed delivery notification. When we restart the service, all the mail is then delivered to the users and we're good to go for a day or two.

Things I've noticed : The store service is growing to around 6 Gb of used RAM, and the w3wp.exe service is hanging around 700mb RAM.

Is there a way to schedule a restart of the transport role every 4 hours or something while I'm solving the issue so I don't have to worry when I leave for the week-end? And most of all...does anyone have any idea on how to solve this issue?

  1. For your first question, you can set a scheduled task to restart the Transport service, you just need to create a batch file with the following commands in it:

    net stop MSExchangeTransport /y
net start MSExchangeTransport

    Then set windows to run this when you want.

  2. This script works for restarting the service. I'm having the same issue with the transport service. I have to do this every hour now.

    sc stop MSExchangeTransport
sc stop MSExchangeEdgeSync

timeout /t 10

sc start MSExchangeEdgeSync
sc start MSExchangeTransport
