RE: Database Corruption after Exchange SP 2

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi,

Thanks for your update.

How to check "Rename Administrator Account" security policy? Please refer
to following MS Knowledge Base article:

Group Policy application rules for domain controllers
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/259576/EN-US/


Regarding how to repair Secedit.sdb.

-=-=-=-=-=-=- START -=-=-=-=-=-=-

To resolve this issue, use the procedure described in this section to
re-create the local Group Policy file.

NOTE: When you use this procedure, your computer is returned to the
original installation state; the Local Security Policy is not defined.
Also, you may have to start your computer in Safe mode to rename or move
files. For information about how to do so, see Windows 2000 Help.

IMPORTANT: Before performing these steps on a Domain Controller, create a
backup of the SYSVOL share. There has been an unconfirmed incident where
the Default Domain Controller policy was reset when applying these steps.

1. Open the %SystemRoot%\Security folder, create a new folder, and then
name it "OldSecurity".

2. Move all of the files ending in .log from the %SystemRoot%\Security
folder to the OldSecurity folder.

3. Find the Secedit.sdb file in the %SystemRoot%\Security\Database folder,
and then rename this file to "Secedit.old".

4. Click Start, click Run, type "mmc" (without the quotation marks), and
then click OK.

5. Click Console, click "Add/Remove Snap-in", and then add the Security and
Configuration snap-in.

6. Right-click "Security and Configuration and Analysis", and then click
Open Database.

7. Browse to the %SystemRoot%\Security\Database folder, type Secedit.sdb in
the File name box, and then click Open.

8. When you are prompted to import a template, click "Setup Security.inf",
and then click Open.

NOTE: If you receive an "Access denied" message, you can safely ignore it.

Please check if this method takes care of the problem. If there is anything
unclear or the problem still persists please feel free to let me know.

time-consuming, to resolve it, we may need more deeper troubleshooting and
