The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

The Microsoft Management Console (MMC) must be closed and reopened to be usable
after a 'net stop ChatSvc' with the MMC open. This happens when you stop the
Microsoft Exchange Chat service from the command prompt using the command "net
stop chatsvc," and then start the service again with the command "net start
chatsvc" with the MMC open.

CAUSE
=====

The MMC can not determine the state of the service. Both the Pause and Continue
buttons are unavailable.

RESOLUTION
==========

Stop and restart the MMC.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Chat Server.
