The following is logged in the Exchange Server Setup Process.log on both the install and subsequent service packs: [08:17:13] This is a(n) Standard version of Microsoft Exchange Server -- ID:62232 --[08:17:13] This is not an evaluation copy of Microsoft Exchange Server; it will not expire -- ID:62234 -- However, the IS is shutting down hourly with the following event logged. Event ID: 1182 Thank you for your participation in the Microsoft Exchange Server beta program. Your license to use this beta version of the Microsoft Exchange Server software has expired. Contact Microsoft Corporation. I have reinstalled with the full retail version twice and no change. What next?
