One of the Windows SBS 2003 servers I\u00a0administer\u00a0had a BSOD\u00a0and after bringing it back up the Exchange store wouldn’t mount. \u00a0It gave the error “The database files in this store are inconsistent.”<\/p>\nOne of the Windows SBS 2003 servers I\u00a0administer\u00a0had a BSOD\u00a0and after bringing it back up the Exchange store wouldn’t mount. \u00a0It gave the error “The database files in this store are inconsistent.”<\/p>\n
I used the Eseutil.exe utility to check the consistency of the store. From the output I noticed 2 things. \u00a0The state was set to dirty shutdown and one of the logs was missing or corrupt. I tried running Eseutil.exe \/r<\/strong> but received an error. \u00a0I then proceeded to run Eseutil.exe \/p<\/strong> which repairs the database. \u00a0Once that was complete I ran an offline defrag, Eseutil.exe \/d<\/strong>, and lastly\u00a0isinteg.exe -s servernsmr-fix -test alltests<\/strong> which checks for integrity weaknesses.<\/p>\n I was then able to mount the store and users were able to access their mailboxes. \u00a0A word of caution Eseutil.exe \/p is usually a last resort and can cause some data loss. \u00a0Microsoft recommends restoring from a clean backup rather then doing a repair. \u00a0I’ll leave that decision up to you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of the Windows SBS 2003 servers I\u00a0administer\u00a0had a BSOD\u00a0and after bringing it back up the Exchange store wouldn’t mount. \u00a0It 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…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3],"tags":[10,103,101,102,42,39],"class_list":["post-333","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-it","tag-bsod","tag-edb","tag-exchange","tag-information-store","tag-sbs","tag-server-2003"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1vc3H-5n","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/seanism.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/333","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/seanism.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/seanism.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/seanism.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/seanism.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=333"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/seanism.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/333\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":336,"href":"https:\/\/seanism.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/333\/revisions\/336"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/seanism.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=333"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/seanism.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=333"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/seanism.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=333"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
