We have worked through the actions from RE: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313184 however only got up to point 4 and got the following error;

It looks like your public folder database is having the issue and I think restore from backup is the best you can do for now if you don't want to use third party application.

Have you actually attempted to remove the log files then do a soft recovery of the database from that point? As you have a corrupt log file, removing it is going to be the only option.

Hi,

We have ran the Kernal on priv1 and pub1, copied them to MDBD folder - Then ran the eseutil /p on both.

Mount failed again, and now below errors in EV;

Right Guys... Last little bit
We now have the priv1.edb database back online and that is functioning ok, however we have a further two databases to get back online.

I have restored the two databases from a backup and im just wondering how i go about getting them back into Exchange?
Is it just as simple as copy and paste over the current corrupt databse inside the MDBDATA folder, then reboot server and that should work??

Please let me know your thoughts...?

Regards
