    Hello @PPDHIT

    To troubleshoot and resolve the issue of Microsoft Exchange Transport services automatically stopping on Windows Server 2016 Standard, follow these steps:

    Step 1: Check Event Viewer

    • Open the Event Viewer on the server.
    • Navigate to Windows Logs > Application and Windows Logs > System.
    • Look for any error messages or warnings related to the Exchange Transport service. Note down any error codes or messages.

    Step 2: Verify Service Dependencies

    • Open Services (type services.msc in the Run dialog).
    • Locate Microsoft Exchange Transport service.
    • Right-click and select Properties.
    • Check the Dependencies tab to ensure all dependent services are running.

    Step 3: Check Disk Space and Performance

    • Ensure there is sufficient disk space on the drive where Exchange is installed.
    • Check CPU and memory usage to ensure the server is not under heavy load.

    Step 4: Review Exchange Logs

    • Navigate to the Exchange installation directory, typically C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\Logs.
    • Review the logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate why the service is stopping.

    Step 5: Update Exchange and Windows

    • Ensure that both Exchange Server and Windows Server are up to date with the latest patches and updates.
    • Use Windows Update and Exchange Update Rollups to apply any pending updates.

    Step 6: Check Antivirus/Firewall Settings

    • Ensure that antivirus or firewall settings are not blocking or interfering with the Exchange Transport service.
    • Add exceptions for Exchange processes if necessary.

    Step 7: Restart the Service

    • In the Services window, right-click on Microsoft Exchange Transport and select Start.
    • Monitor the service to see if it stops again.

    Step 8: Rebuild Transport Queue Database

    • If the issue persists, consider rebuilding the transport queue database:
      • Stop the Microsoft Exchange Transport service.
      • Navigate to C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\data\Queue.
      • Rename the Queue folder to Queue.old.
      • Start the Microsoft Exchange Transport service. A new queue database will be created.
