Well it looks like it was just corruption, this what I did 1. ran eseutil /mh e:\program files\mdbdata\exchsrvr did not work had to change path to progra~1 2. after running told me my database was inconsistent 3. tried to then restore from veritas (MS tech notes said that its better to restore then run esutil /p) 4. had problems restoring, kept getting access denied 5. changed rights by right click on database inside system manager added backup account ( I don't think that solved it) 6. stopped exchange store deleted edb and log files (I think this was my issue) 7. started exchange store service and restore went great 8. went to sleep at 3.30 morning that was the best part _____ From: Oluwaseyi Owoeye [mailto:OOwoeye@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, December 13, 2004 1:57 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: MISSING LOGFILE http://www.MSExchange.org/ This could be an antivirus issue. Ensure that your antivirus has not been configured to scan the exchange folders. If that is the case check your quarantine folder to recover the file.

Thanks & Regards V.Venu _____ From: Jeff Bushberg [mailto:jeff@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, December 13, 2004 8:14 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] MISSING LOGFILE http://www.MSExchange.org/ I think my exchange server is missing some vital files, it is not mounting the store and I am not getting any m drive. I got this message from event viewer any suggestions on how to proceed would be appreciated. I also restarted services and rebooted with no success Information Store (2720) Database E:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv1.edb requires logfiles 41685-41688 in order to recover successfully. Recovery could only locate logfiles up to 41687.
