Actually wasn't too bad - I just finished the import and went through the
Exmerge-(Thread) logs and sent notifications with a list of the lost
emails to those folks who had errors, and 95% of the errors were either
in the Deleted Items folder or the Spam Mail folder (Trend CSM). The priv
is actually SMALLER now that all that junk is gone! And so long as they
know what was corrupt and lost, they can most likely get it resent or get
a copy froim a teammate - they're thrilled they didn't lose EVERYTHING.

The problem with cached mode is 2/3 of our users are at another location,
and they complain about the lagtime over teh T1 WAN link (but they still
stream music, go figure!)

It's done, it's up with no errors and I am going home!!!
<happy dance>

Thanks again Susan!!!

wow...you might want to start a weekly test of restoring a backup to the
RSG, just to make certain your backups are all usable...what a horrible
situation...or, in a case like this, where you have power issues, ensure
everyone's running in cached mode, so there's always a copy of the email
on the PC...my sympathies...

The biggest is only 1.9 GB, and the priv is a little over 5 GB, lots of
space on this server, entire exchange db is 7 GB according to the store
startup event, so I'm not too concerned with losing SIS - it's more the
time involved in using Exmerge.

This has been a nightmare of a week, so many problems related to the
power failures, a UPS can only do so much when the power goes out for
an hour then up for 20 minutes then out again, lather, rinse, repeat..
We go through this every summer, but this has been the worst as far as
equipment damage goes, it'll probably take me well into next week to
get it all straightened out - then I get to play catch-up on all the
stuff I *should* have done this week.

Thanks again, I really appreciate all the help you and Andy have given
today, I was about ready to slit my wrists <g>

HAGD,
SusanV

if you're going to just rename or delete the edb. and stm. files,
you'll end up with just a bunch of empty mailboxes...then you can use
exmerge to merge the data from those pst files back into the
mailboxes...what's the largest pst file? your database will most
likely be much larger than it was before, as SIS will be broken...and
yes, dial-tone is the way to go, when you have a good backup to
restore from...

I'm exmerging out now - thankfully there's only 34 mailboxes, and
only a few are big. Should be finished soon. While I've been waiting
for this I was looking at the dial tone method - neat trick if you
have a good backup.

When I move all the files out of mdbdata and restart the services,
will the mailboxes be available to exmerge in or will I have to touch
each one? If so, will sending a global email do the trick or will I
have to use OWA or somesuch? It's been so long since I was
Exchange-based that I've forgotten so much stuff.... very frustrating
day.

Thanks again for all your suggestions,
SusanV

Nope, the restore to the recovery group failed:

check the application event log for more information

Looks like maybe Exmerge is the way to go?

yes, a restore is the best way to go on something like this...and
if you got a good backup, that's a good sign...

I just ran a backup of the first storage group, ran without
errors.

Now I'm going to try restoring from Monday to a RSG, see how that
goes.

Thanks again for your help.


"Susan" <sconkey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote in message

that would be correct...how many mailboxes are we talking about,
here? what happens if you try to do a backup now? does it fail?
if you try to restore Monday's backup to an RSG, does it work?

Hi Susan,
Backup failed last night, and I'm not sure when this issue
started, so Monday night's backup may be corrupt also. The only
known good backup I have is from Friday, and since Monday's was
succesful the logs from tjhe weekend are gone, correct?

the recommendation in a case of serious corruption is to
restore from backup...that would probably be your best bet...

SBS2003 R2, SP1, Exchange is SP2 (version 6.5.7638.1)

After a series of power failures where the UPS was unable to
recharge enough to bring the server down gracefully after
powering back up, I am getting EventID 9297 and 467 (full
errors pasted below) in the Application log every few
minutes. The store mounts OK but users keep getting Exchange
is unavailable every few minutes. Searching the web, I found
very little on these errors,.

I dismounted the private store, backed it up, and ran
eseutil:
C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\bin> eseutil /d
c:\progra~1\exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv1.edb
results:
Operation terminated with error -338
(JET_errBadParentPageLink, Database corrupted) after 1308.32
seconds.

Then ran isinteg:
C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\bin>isinteg -s
lsgsbs -fix -verbose -l C:\isinteg.pri -test alltests
Results:
. . . . . SUMMARY . . . . .
Total number of tests : 21
Total number of warnings : 7
Total number of errors : 0
Total number of fixes : 1991
Total time : 0h:7m:33s

Reran isinteg, no errors warnings or fixes. Reran eseutil /g,
says database is still corrupt. The store will still mount,
and mail is still accessible, but I'm still getting the
errors. Currently I have the store dismounted to keep users
out.

I thought to create a new store and move the mailboxes, but
after creating a new storage group, I cannot add a new
mailbox store, error says "This storage group already
contains the maximum number of stores allowed" - I assume
this to be an SBS limitation?

So now what??? Any ideas before I pull out the plastic and
call MS???

ANY help would be appreciated!!!
