Hi guy's,

I have problems starting the NNTP service on my Exchange 2003 box.
The error in Event Viewer is

"The Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) service terminated with the
following error:
The system cannot find the file specified."

The question is how best to repair the NNTP Service on the box without
breaking Exchange.

thanks

Can you post the relevant Event ID numbers? Have you configured your AV
software to run properly and scanned for any viruses or worms? What Service
Packs are you running on the Server?

I am running Exchange Server 2003 SP2 and the event id is 7023.

This is the first time i have tried to use NNTP so i dont know if it would
have worked in the past.

7023 is pretty generic error. You may look at www.eventid.net to see if it
gives you a clue as to why this happening. NNTP is a requirement for
Exchange to run properly. As I suggested, you can reinstall the NNTP service
to see if this resolves the issue.
