Hi Skip,
Thank you for your update.
1. As you mentioned, since there is no number or other identifer on the
error window, when you were running the CEICW. Please locate the icwlog.txt
file from the c:\program files\Microsoft Windows Small Business
Server\Support folder, then send it to my mailbox.
2. Please run 'eventvwr.exe' (without the quotation marks) on the command
prompt on the SBS 2003 Server, right-click Application and select "Save Log
File As" to a location, then send it to me. (Note: you may also do the
same process for the System, DNS Server, or other nodes)
3. For the Event error "MSExchangeSA, error #9175 (MAPI error)", these
messages cannot indicate errors of the server because they only occurred
during a store restarting (this is an expected behavior). The MAPI call
'OpenMsgStore' failed with the following error: The Microsoft Exchange
Server computer is not available. Either there are network problems or the
Microsoft Exchange Server computer is down for maintenance. The MAPI
provider failed. Microsoft Exchange Server Information Store ID no:
8004011d-0526-00000000.
4. There is a tool called OST2PST. You can use it to convert the orphan
OST file.
Important: Make a copy of the current OST file before you do anything on
it.
OST2PST v3.0

Another tool can be found on the following Web site:

sure that you completely understand the risk before retrieving any software
from the Internet.
5. For the error "c1041724 - "An internal processing error has occurred"
when you try to mount the Database store, you may refer to the following KB
article:
294318 C1041724 Error Occurs When You Try to Mount a Database
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=294318
6. Use the Eseutil utility (Eseutil.exe) to determine whether the
databases are in a consistent state or in an inconsistent state. A
consistent state is the same as a <clean shutdown> state. An inconsistent
state is the same as a <dirty shutdown> state. To determine whether the
databases are in a consistent state or in an inconsistent state, follow
these steps:
a. Make sure that the databases in the storage group are dismounted.
b. Change to the C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\Bin folder, and then run the
eseutil /mh command by using the following syntax:
eseutil /mh "C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\Mdbdata\<Database>.edb"Note This
step assumes that you installed Exchange 2000 on drive C. This step also
assumes that you are running Exchange 2000 in the Program
Files\Exchsrvr\Bin folder and that the .edb files are in the Program
Files\Exchsrvr\Mdbdata folder. If you have performed an upgrade, the
database files might be located in the C:\Exchsrvr\Mdbdata folder. If you
have multiple storage groups, the database files might be located in a
folder that is different from the Mdbdata folder.
c. In the output results, locate the output line that is labeled "State."
If the database state is consistent, you will see "State: Clean Shutdown."
If the database is inconsistent, you will see "State: Dirty Shutdown."
For additional information about where to find the Eseutil utility, click
the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge
Base:
170091 XADM: Location of the Eseutil Utility
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=170091
For additional information about Eseutil command line switches, click the
following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge
Base:
317014 XADM: Exchange 2000 Server Eseutil Command Line Switches
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=317014
7. If the databases are consistent, move all the log files out of the
folder where your database files are located, and then mount the stores.
The folder where your database files are located is typically the
Exchsrvr\Mdbdata folder. As with any situation where a log file has been
corrupted, some data loss will occur.
8. If the databases are inconsistent, you can try to perform a soft
recovery of the files. Important To perform a soft recovery, you must stop
the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service. When the Information
Store service is stopped, all users who have their mailboxes stored on the
server will not be able to send and receive mail.
To perform a soft recovery of the files, follow these steps:
a. Click "Start", point to "Programs", point to "Administrative Tools",
and then click "Services".
b. Locate and then right-click the "Microsoft Exchange Information Store"
service, click "Stop", and wait for the Information Store service to stop.
c. At the command prompt, change to the folder where the database and the
log files are located. For example, change to the C:\Program
Files\Exchsrvr\Mdbdata folder.
d. Run the following command in the folder where the database and the log
files are located:
"C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\Bin\Eseutil" /r E00Note Replace <E00> with
the three-character log file base name.
For additional information about the soft recovery procedure, click the
following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge
Base:
313184 How to recover the information store on Exchange 2000 in a single
site
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=313184
9. If the soft recovery is unsuccessful, you can try to perform a recovery
of the Exchange database by restoring from a backup. The databases in the
storage group must remain dismounted if you try to restore from a backup.
Note If you enabled circular logging for the storage group that the
inconsistent database is located in, you can only recover the data that was
in the database when you performed the last working full backup. To
determine if circular logging is enabled, right-click the storage group,
click "Properties", and then view the status of the "Enable Circular
Logging" check box.
- If you restore the databases from an online backup, only replay
transaction logs that are older than the log file that is corrupted.
For additional information about how to restore Exchange from an online
backup, click the following article number to view the article in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base:
232938 The "Last Backup Set" Check Box and Hard Recovery in Exchange
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=232938
- If you restore the databases from an offline backup, empty the database
log folders and the transaction log folders. Only restore the .edb files
and the .stm files.
For additional information about offline backup and restore procedures
for Exchange, click the following article number to view the article in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base:
296788 Offline Backup and Restoration Procedures for Exchange
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=296788
I appreciate your time and cooperation. If anything is unclear, please feel
free to let me know. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
