The one way that I fixed the problem just to let you guys
know. Is to write a batch file and put it in my policy as
a shutdown script for the computer running exchange. The
batch file ran the commands:
net stop "Microsoft Exchange MTA Stacks"
net stop "Microsoft Exchange Information Store"
net stop "Microsoft Exchange System Attendant"
this causes this script to run automatically first at
shutdown, then the other services stop. The computer then
reboots normally.
