Hi,

Thanks for your posting here.

Please first try the suggestions in kb 298848 to trouble shoot this issue:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;298848

Also, this issue can occur if the World Wide Web service (W3SVC) and the
NNTP service start before the MSExchangeIS service. The MSExchangeIS
service, through the Exchange Installable File System (IFS) service, is
responsible for mapping the virtual drive M that enables access to the
information store through the file system. Therefore, when the W3SVC checks
for the M drive locations specified in the /Public, /Exchange, and
/Exadmin virtual roots, it does not find them.

For more information, please refer to the following Microsoft Knowledge
Base article:

259373 XADM: W3SVC Logs Event ID 101 in the System Event Log
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=259373

Please perform the following steps to set W3SVC and NNTPSVC services to
start after the MSExchangeIS service:

1. Click Start, point to Run, open the Windows 2000 Registry Editor by
typing "REGEDT32" (without the quotation marks), and then click OK. Do not
use REGEDIT. If you use REGEDIT, you will not be able to make the change.

2. Use Registry Editor to locate the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC

3. Double-click the DependOnService value, and then add MSExchangeIS to the
list so the following two services are listed:

IISADMIN
MSExchangeIS

4. Click OK to close the Multi-String Editor dialog box, and then do the
same thing to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NNTPSVC

5. Close the Registry Editor. The next time the server is restarted, the
Exchange Virtual Roots no longer displays with the Error status and the
error is no longer be logged in the System event log.

In addition, ss the NNTP is only needed to install Exchange and run
newsgroup access, after the initial Setup has completed (and if you don't
need to access newsgroups on Exchange via NNTP), the service can be safely
turned off. To do so, refer to the following article:

291330 XGEN: Disabling Protocols in Exchange 2000
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=291330

Hope this helps! Have a nice day!
