Doing a shutdown or restart on SBS 2008 can be a slow process (and even slower when users are waiting on the server to come back up!). Stopping the exchange services is a big part of the slowness. Below are a couple of bat file I use that helps a good bit. There’s no difference between the two other than whether it’s a shutdown or a restart of the server.
ServerShutdown.bat
net stop msexchangeadtopology /y net stop msftesql-exchange /y net stop msexchangeis /y net stop msexchangesa /y net stop iisadmin /y shutdown /s /t 00
ServerRestart.bat
net stop msexchangeadtopology /y net stop msftesql-exchange /y net stop msexchangeis /y net stop msexchangesa /y net stop iisadmin /y shutdown /r /t 00
