SYMPTOMS

If you are installing Exchange Server version 5.5 on a computer with a 15- character NetBIOS machine name, the event service will send the following Dr. Watson error message at the end of Setup:

events.exe
Exception: Access violation (0xc0000005), address 0x00405766

This error message will appear when Setup has finished and is starting the Exchange services, immediately before you are prompted to run the Optimizer Wizard or exit Setup.

The Microsoft Exchange Event Server generates the Dr. Watson error message only during Setup. After installation, you can manually start the service or allow Windows NT to automatically start the service after any subsequent restarts.
