Hello guys , I do not know which version of Exchange did you install , Is it standard or enterprise , Check the *.edb size if it is near to 7GB you are in trouble may be an upgrade to enterpise could a solution . I got this problem before i upgrade it after now it is ok . also when you moved from exchange 5.5 to exchange 2000/2003 make sure you have a lot of space For example if you are moving 5gb of mail make sure in temp folder you have more than 5GB or else you are in trouble Saleem -----Original Message----- From: Tom Battersby [mailto:tomb@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Fri 6/18/2004 12:28 PM To: [ExchangeList] Cc: Subject: [exchangelist] Database corruption after moving mailbox from 5.5 to 2003? http://www.MSExchange.org/ We are currently moving from a single Exchange 5.5 server (NT4 SP6a BDC) to a single 2003 standard edition server SP1 running on windows 2003 server standard, with all SUS deployable patches installed. We have got the two servers running in the same site, replicating etc. Our AD has mainly 2000 SP4 domain controllers, and the exchange server itself is a DC (2003). The Active Directory connector is on the new 2003 server. We are in AD mixed mode due to the legacy mail server. We moved test mailboxes over OK, and I moved my own mailbox (c. 45MB)without any problems. However, the last two mailboxes that I moved using the move mailbox wizard have caused the mail store to report itself corrupted (both were c. 80MB). There is no loss of functionality in Outlook for the moved user, the store will mount and dismount OK, and the event log just says that it moved the mailbox. The wizard also says everything is fine when you do the move. However eseutil /g says 'Database is CORRUPTED!' and backups of the information store fail both with NTbackup and backup exec 9 sp1 agent for exchange. The first time I wasn't sure it was the migration as i didn't spot it straight away, but i have just moved another box, running eseutil /g immediately before and after the move. Before - OK. After - corrupt. BUT - if i run eseutil /d on the database, it completes fine, and eseutil /g subsequently reports all is well, ie it has fixed itself. And although the information store object can't be backed up when it reports as corrupt, i could still back up every mailbox without any problems. The only errors I have got in the event log are related to the system attendant trying to access the store whilst it is dismounted for defrag - I have two 9175 and two 1005 errors. Anybody seen this before, know how to avoid it or what? Anybody know if it is a real problem or not? ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSEXchange.org Discussion List as: sroumald@xxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist
