Thank you for the quick responses. I was unable to find any logs in the inetpub folder. The only place I know of to find log files are in the Event Viewer. Really appreciate the help.

Check the log file sizes as well, I believe there is a 16 gig limit on them. If they get to big, exchange stops the services. A reboot will fix it for 2 days, then it will shut down again. It will continue to do the 2 functioning days then require a reboot until you either cut the log files down by deleting/moving some emails or there is a setting you can change to set the default file size to alot bigger.
