My first recommendation is that unless you're 100% sure you are not at risk of losing data, I would call PSS (Microsoft support) and let them walk you through this. Even people who are comfortable with Exchange database recovery can benefit from having a calm third party behind them while they're trying to recover this much important data.

If you're determined to go it alone, here's how:

How to recover the information store on Exchange 2000 Server or Exchange Server 2003 in a single site

Ok, it gets worse. I now have no good backup to restore from. Thankfully, I have a pst file for everyone. My only other option is to repair the database. If anyone can point me to a good procedure on doing this, I would be very appreciative. Please note, I've already started to backup the corrupted database since I read somewhere you should do that before running eseutil.exe.

Thank you all for taking the time to read this and for anyone's help. I'm in a pretty good jam, please help anyone. Thanks so much.

Ok,

Running SBS 2003 SP2 with exchange SP2

I couldn't log into the server locally or remotely and did a hard shut down. Now the exchange is down.
Getting the following event id's : 9518, 454, 515 & 465

From what it looks like the logging/recovery failed and I guess its time to restore from backup. Yes, I have a backup. Can someone point me to a good solid procedure to restore the exchange correctly?

First thing I'm doing is creating a pst and savig it locally to everlyones computer.

Just so its known, I had to move the exchange database friday night due to lack of space on the OS partition where it was installed (I didn't setup this server, someone before me did). But everything was fine, everyone was getting email up until I did a hard reset this morning.

thanks in advance for anyones help
