Unable to replay restored transaction logs to restored edb using eseutil /r for Exchange 2010
I am testing my backup and restore process for Exchange 2010.
I have used 2 different products to backup Exchange 2010. After performing restores using both products I then tried to apply to my restored transaction logs to my restored edb using eseutil /r but it failed each time.
Information Store Server Spec is:
Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1
Exchange 2010 Enterprise Edition SP2 (Version: 14.02.0247.005)
8GB RAM
The steps I followed are listed below with results.
eseutil /mh F:\RECOVERYDB\Mailbox\M-O\
Resulted in confirmation that database is in a "Dirty Shutdown" state.
eseutil /ml F:\RECOVERYDB\Logs\M-O\E06
Resulted in no damaged log files
eseutil /r E06 /i /l F:\RECOVERYDB\Logs\M-O /d F:\RECOVERYDB\Mailbox\M-O\
Resulted in failure to run and advised to run with /a
eseutil /r E06 /i /a /s F:\RECOVERYDB\Logs\M-O /l F:\RECOVERYDB\Logs\M-O /d F:\RECOVERYDB\Mailbox\M-O\
Resulted in operation successful
eseutil /mh F:\RECOVERYDB\Mailbox\M-O\
Resulted in confirmation that database is still in a "Dirty Shutdown" state with log required unchanged
eseutil /p F:\RECOVERYDB\Mailbox\M-O\
Resulted in operation successful but with data loss
Why am I unable to successfully replay my restored transactions logs against my restored edb?

Have you removed the checkpoint file? - this should make exchange look for logs to play.

I tried already removing the chk file and ran the eseutil /r and it completes successfully but I still have a "Dirty Shutdown" state for my edb.

and still requires logs files

Are you placing the to-be-palyed transaction logs in the same DIR as the exisitng log files?
