We are using ADSM scheduler with PRESCHEDULE and POSTSCHEDULE,
containing following commands (Exchange V.5 german):
PRESCHEDUE <path>\netstop.bat
containing:
net stop "MS Exchange Internet Mail"
net stop "MS Exchange Message Transfer Agent"
net stop "MS Exchange-Informationsspeicher"
net stop "MS Exchange-Verzeichnis"
net stop "MS Exchange-Systemaufsicht"

POSTSCHEDUE <path>\netstart.bat
containing:
net start "MS Exchange-Systemaufsicht"
net start "MS Exchange-Verzeichnis"
net start "MS Exchange Message Transfer Agent"
net start "MS Exchange-Informationsspeicher"
net start "MS Exchange Internet Mail"

no problems. If you are using /yes-parameter, you don't know what else
nt is doing here, maybe this might be the problem.
