Look at this technet article Q271987 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;271987 In the article on the paragraph on recovering ... NOTE: If it is at all possible, avoid using Eseutil in repair mode (Eseutil /p). Eseutil, which comes with Exchange Server, is a last resort for repairing database damage when all else fails. In repair mode, it gets a broken database running again by simply deleting damaged pages. Eseutil should never be used to recover data. If you do run the Eseutil /p command, you must run the Isinteg -test alltests -fix command to restore a consistent state. -----Original Message----- From: sfulci@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:sfulci@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2002 10:08 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] What is the difference between eseutil and isinteg .....? http://www.MSExchange.org/ Hello, I have a question about theses 2 command-line utilities .....
