The Exchange Services and Executables

We are asked time to time the name of the Exchange services and their default settings. We put a little table together and wanted to post here at my blog. Knowing these services is essential

If this service is stopped, mailbox stores and public folder stores on this computer are unavailable. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start.	store.exe	Disable
