The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

priv1.edb recovery

Asked by pfsilva in Exchange Email Server

Tags: recovery

Hello,
I ran across a corrupted priv1.edb exchange database. I followed the excellent article Dealing with Exchange Database Corruption by Brien Posey (in http://www.brienposey.com/kb/database_corruption.asp) but still can“t mount priv1.edb.
1) I'm running W2K Server and Exchange 2K with recent Service Packs applied.
2) I've run ESEUTIL /MH on my priv1.edb
3) I've run ESEUTIL with the p switch to repair
4) I've run ESEUTIL /MH again and found that the number of repairs done on the database were 2
5) I've tried to run ISINTEG -S servername -FIX -TEST ALLTESTS but received an error stating that ISINTEG stopped due to an invalid parameter.
6) I've run again ESEUTIL with the /d switch to defrag
7) I've run ESEUTIL /MH again and found that the number of repairs done on the database were now zero (0)
8) I've tried to mount priv1.edb but receive an error message saying that the mount was unsucessuful and that I should try to restart Exchange System Manager and/or the Exchange Infor. Store
9) I've gathered the event log and paste it here

Description:
Information Store (2040) Database recovery failed with error -1216 because it encountered references to a database, 'C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv1.edb', which is no longer present. The database was not brought to a consistent state before it was removed (or possibly moved or renamed). The database engine will not permit recovery to complete for this instance until the missing database is re-instated. If the database is truly no longer available and no longer required, please contact PSS for further instructions regarding the steps required in order to allow recovery to proceed without this database.

10) I've noticed that on the mdbdata folder I've besides priv1.edb (and the other files associated with it) a bunch of log files and E00.log.
 
QUESTION
I) How can I recover from this situation?
II) Should I have E00.log and the other E00xx.log files on the mdbdata folder or should I cut them off there?
NOTE: After ESEUTIL procedures the priv1.edb files were consistent (as far as ESEUTIL reported)

Thanks in advance,
Pedro
