Exchange 2003 store won’t mount

0
0

One of the Windows SBS 2003 servers I administer had a BSOD and after bringing it back up the Exchange store wouldn't mount.  It gave the error "The database files in this store are inconsistent."

I used the Eseutil.exe utility to check the consistency of the store.
"c:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\bin\eseutil.exe" /mh "c:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\MDBDATA\priv1.edb"

From the output I noticed 2 things.  The state was set to dirty shutdown and one of the logs was missing or corrupt.
State: Dirty Shutdown
Log Required: 16655-16655 (0x410f-0x410f)

I tried running Eseutil.exe /r but received an error.  I then proceeded to run Eseutil.exe /p which repairs the database.  Once that was complete I ran an offline defrag, Eseutil.exe /d, and lastly isinteg.exe -s servernsmr-fix -test alltests which checks for integrity weaknesses.

I was then able to mount the store and users were able to access their mailboxes.  A word of caution Eseutil.exe /p is usually a last resort and can cause some data loss.  Microsoft recommends restoring from a clean backup rather then doing a repair.  I'll leave that decision up to you.
