Try running the troubleshooting assistant and or\ disaster recovery analyzer that Carl mentioned before performing any drastic steps. It can provide some good information, such as missing log files, shutdown state, and resolutions. Also if you can provide any insight any events, changes that were made that would be great.

Database state is (State=dirty shutdown). It means the log files are not committed to the database. How do I correct this? How can I correct log files? Even the previous backups are saying that backup is corrupted or unrecognized format. I can restore monthly backup taken at the end of every month, but in that case data will be lost. Please suggest something ________________________________ From: exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Farhan Ahmed Khan (ITG) Sent: Monday, September 18, 2006 11:50 AM To: exchangelist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ExchangeList] Re: Problem In Database Mounting Hope that link helps you out. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896143#1 Regards, Farhan ________________________________ From: exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Amit Kapoor Sent: Monday, September 18, 2006 9:42 AM To: exchangelist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ExchangeList] Problem In Database Mounting Importance: High Hi All, I have a Exchange Server 2003 Standard Edition with Windows 2000 Server as a Domain controller.
