Please check what is the status if database. dirtys hutdown or clean shutdown

eseutil /mh “D:\database\database1.edb”

Open in new window

or run this command from powershell
Get-MailboxDatabase -Status | % { eseutil /mh $_.edbfilepath } | Select-String -Pattern “State:”

Open in new window


if the state is dirty shutdown Please run this first
Eseutil /r E00 /l “D:\database” /d “D:\database\database1.edb”

Open in new window


If the database is still dirty shutdown try this
eseutil /R E00 /l "c:\DBRecovery" /d "c:\DBRecovery\Mailbox Database 0436312751.edb” /i

If the same issue persists run this command. Take a copy of the edb file before running this.
eseutil /p “D:\database\database1.edb”

Open in new window


If the database is clean shutdown you can mount
As @MAS advise above, first check db health and provide update here. Then, further steps can be suggested. if you have latest backup, restoring db could be the last option.

Or in worst case, last option left is to perform dial-tone recovery, bring user back without data and use 3rd party tool to export and import data in user mailboxes.
