Event It 7024 exchange information store not starting

[James]

Server is windows 2003 R2 64bit
Runs Exchange 2007 sp1 64bit
Roles mailbox, client access and hub transport

This server is the Target server is a Standby Continues Replication (SCR)
configuration

I have just installed rollup 1 for exchange server 64bit sp1

During the restart, I’m informed that not all of the services have started
successfully.
The MSExchangeIS service didn’t start and I can’t manually start it either.
The event ID is 7024 “The specified service stopped unexpectedly with the
error indicated in the message. Windows does not recognize the service's
error code.”
This is the output from sc query MSExchangeIS
SERVICE_NAME: MsExchangeIS
TYPE : 10 WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
STATE : 1 STOPPED
(NOT_STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE,
IGNORES_SHUTDOWN))
WIN32_EXIT_CODE : 1066 (0x42a)
SERVICE_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)
CHECKPOINT : 0x0
WAIT_HINT : 0x0

Any ideas on how to fix this ??

after a little more resarch I have found this

this server is a SRC server, and it does not have any mailbox databases that
a user can access.
would this prevent the service from starting ??

0x42a means the ERROR_SERVER_SPECIFIC_ERROR, and the actual service exit
code is 0x0.

0x0 means ERROR_SUCCESS and is the return code associated with a normal
exit.

Based on this, I'd assume this is a normal shutdown of the IS precisely
because you have no databases nor SGs defined.
