Hi,<br />
Please advise.<br />
<br />
We have following error logged into our Exchange box:<br />
<br />
&quot;MSExchangeSRS (2012) SRS Storage: Database recovery failed with error -1216 because it encountered references to a database, 'C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\SRSDATA\srs<wbr />.edb', which is no longer present. The database was not brought to a Clean Shutdown state before it was removed <br />
(or possibly moved or renamed). The database engine will not permit recovery to complete for this instance &nbsp;until the missing database is re-instated. If the database is truly no longer available and no longer required, procedures for recovering from this error are available in the Microsoft Knowledge Base or by following the &quot;&quot;more information&quot;&quot; link at the bottom of this message. &quot;<br />
