I can only say that my NT server runs MS-Exchange and it still doesn't take
all day to come down.  When I do bring it down, it is always a scheduled
event and I shut the Exchange-related services beforehand.  This makes for
a speedier shutdown.

I never ran MS-Exchange on Novell, so I can't help you in that comparison.
 (I wasn't even aware that MS-Exchange ran on Novell, but if you say so, I
must believe you.)

Kind regards,

Like I replied to Denys, the HP3000 wasn't the issue.  It is NT on an HP
Netserver that takes time.  It has 8GB disc, more than 128MB RAM and runs
M$-Exchange.  My network person was comparing it with the ease of Novell.
