If the database is created but not mounted, the registry entry does not get created. <BR /><BR />Usually when Exchange dismounts, it will be because of some sort of error. Do you have an error number? Mon, 13 Oct 2003 00:55:00 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-microsoft/dismount-exchange/m-p/3090406#M3243 Glen Shields 2003-10-13T00:55:00Z
