You should stop Information store service to to release the lock -----Original Message----- From: Marco Antonio Lisboa [mailto:mlisboa@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, November 24, 2003 8:07 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: URGENT HELP !!!!!!!!! http://www.MSExchange.org/ No. I didn't mess with anything. I guess the problem was, one of the guys ran a Scandisk/Defrag on the server (including the drive M - exchange) and after that it gives me that error over and over. I'm desperate already. I'm thinking of buying a new server and just installing from the scratch. I tried to reboot and start everything manually. Same error. When I try to eseutil /p [store], says that the file is locked or in use. Thanks, Marco Antonio Lisboa VIP IT Solutions, Inc.
