Eseutil /mh - database is locked or in use
Hi,
Recovering from Exchange failure. We have DB backup and all logs. I want to perform soft recovery using:
eseutil /r e00 /l "E:\Exchange Logs" /d "D:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Mailbox\First Storage Group"
But I don't know which logs are required.
So I try and run eseutil /mh but it says:
Operation terminated with error -1032 (JET_errFileAccessDenied, Cannot access fi
le, the file is locked or in use) after 20.30 seconds.
How can I 'unlock' so I can run /mh and see which log files are required??

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
If you are getting jet error while running ESUTIL, then it means that your exchange file is severely corrupt or damaged and in that case ESUTIL would not work. In that case, you can try any third party tool to repair and recover your data from corrupt exchange database file. I would like to recommend one such most trusted tool when it comes to exchange database recovery - Stellar Phoenix Mailbox Exchange Recovery tool, which can restore the inaccessible user mailboxes by repairing the corrupt or damaged edb files easily.

Kind of helped - we had to run eseutil on a different server from a backup copy
