Dear Mike, I have already tried all the possible steps. But after these the IS service does not start. Now, I was looking a utility, which could run independently of exchange server. I mean a utility which accesses the PRIV.EDB and extracts the data to the pst files. Officerecovery claims to do the same. Do u know about any such utility.

Try reading these articles Q259851 and Q182903 from MS. The procedure I followed was as follows: 1. Determine if store is corrupted = eseutil/mh (Of course the store is corrupted!Duh!) 2. If store is corrupted then = eseutil /p 3. If repaired run clean up = eseutil /d 4. If cleaned up check integrity = eseutil /g 5. For good measure = isinteg -s servername -fix -pri (priv) -test alltests 3 times * you can proably get it up after number two if the repair is successful * step 2 actually defrags the database hope this helps ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSExchange.org Discussion List as: chand@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub')
