Sure. Follow the steps: Go to your favorite cooking site, select a recipe and copy it using CTRL+C Shutdown exchange in the services administrative tool, open notepad, open your priv1.edb file. Paste the recipe on the beginning of the file using CTRL+V Save it and try to start exchange services. If they work, I'll buy you a beer! About the second question: no, all mails from all users will be permanently corrupted. You can't mess with the database and corrupt a single mail from a user. I can also lend you some disks that were on my Compaq ProSignia 300 that are very bad indeed ;) Tiago -----Mensagem original----- De: Usha Kodali [mailto:Usha.Kodali@xxxxxxxxxxx] Enviada em: terça-feira, 10 de maio de 2005 03:48 Para: [ExchangeList] Assunto: [exchangelist] RE: RES: how to corrupt a mailbox? http://www.MSExchange.org/ Hi Aviz, Can u explain me in detail how to do it? I am not aware of all these stuff previously. I would be glad to know the steps in detail. If a user mailbox contains 10 mails and if 1 is corrupted is that whole mailbox corrupted? When do we say that the mailbox is corrupted and mail is corrupted? Can u explain me the steps how to corrupt both differently?
