Database is an integral part of any application. When working with Microsoft Exchange, it is something which can’t be parted with. The database contains all the mails, contacts, user data and a lot of other information. A lot of corruption problems can occur due to an Exchange Database such as log file issues, antivirus scanning, database shutdown etc. Hence to ensure a speedy recovery and smooth functioning of the database and thus the server, a system administrator has to use some Microsoft Exchange Server Recovery tools.

Here is a scenario illustrating the corruption of Microsoft Exchange Server Database. Remember if working as an Administrator of Exchange Server you have encountered the following situations:

  • You are unable to start Information Store Service.
  • Clients are unable to send/receive emails and even the server restart does not solve the problem.
  • You have restored the database from a backup which was offline but the database is still not consistent.
  • When you run database integrity check – Isinteg, the following error message displays on the screen:

“Error 4294966746: JET_errDatabaseInconsistent”

Cause of the error:

The information store has got corrupted. Either one or both of the private store and public store have got corrupted.

Solution to the error:

Before you begin solving the problem, it is recommended that you take entire backup of Information Store. This will help you to cope up with the situation if Information Store crashes. Now just follow the following simple steps:

  • When you try to start the Information Store, some error messages application event logs occur, generated by Exchange Server. Analyze all those messages and logs.
  • To check the Exchange Database’s integrity (Pub.edb and Priv.edb), run eseutil/mh command. If database is inconsistent, it shows ‘Dirty Shutdown’ state but this doesn’t ensure that database is corrupt. The state can also appear if all of the logs of transaction were not committed.
  • Perform a soft database recovery and do a replay of all the transaction logs. To perform this task for the effected database, run eseutil/r command.
  • If soft recovery doesn’t give the desired results, run hard database repair. Run eseutil/p and delete whole of the .log and .chk files.
  • Now you have to check for the previously stated symptoms. They should not occur now. If you are able to work successfully with the database, then it is repaired. Next, you have to defragment and fix database issues, so run the following commands in sequence – eseutil /d and isinteg -pri -fix –test alltests
  • But if the problem is unresolved and you are not able to work with the database, then you will have to switch to a 3rd party Exchange Server Recovery tool, so that you can diagnose the database and repair it properly and more effectively. A Microsoft Exchange’s recovery utility allows for an easy database repair while using safe and yet powerful procedures of scanning.

Microsoft Exchange Recovery Tool: It is a professional tool to repair corrupted Exchange databases. It extracts the mailboxes in .pst files. The tool is easy to use and advanced recovery features are provided in it. It can also be used to recover the mailboxes which are deleted and inaccessible STM data.

Microsoft’s partners are saying that users are not in a hurry to upgrade to Exchange 2010. Market researchers have also concluded that the adoption of Exchange 2010 will get delayed until late 2011.

Microsoft has claimed savings by the use of Exchange 2010 but customers are not likely to buy it. The email system, however, has earned appreciation from its testers still users are not queuing up to buy.

There are many reasons behind this lag. First of all, Microsoft’s claims about savings do not appear as appearing compelling to users. While certainly there is truth in the saving claims of Microsoft, but an organization needs to have the correct environment to take proper advantage claimed by it. It might be a good decision for an organization to buy Exchange 2010 if it wants to move to the cloud some of its mailboxes, or if the organization is in a good condition to change its voicemail system. Microsoft’s claim of storage saving is still debatable! The only non-debatable fact is that not many organizations have yet shown interest in buying the new email system.

Yet another reason is that it is too early a shift after Exchange 2007. Organizations have waited for a long time for Exchange 2007 and many changes have broke the ISV and internal processes (i.e. to remove the Recipient Update Service) and also because it was a difficult install process. Just after shifting to 2007, migrating to 2010 will be a lot of unplanned work for organizations.

Even users are not yet interested, but some feature innovation is extremely good in Exchange 2010. Hybrid cloud innovation makes a good sense and is useful for businesses of any size.

Metalogix has surveyed more that 800 administrators and found that around half of them are still using Exchange 2003, and on top of that only 20% of them planned to upgrade to 2010. The survey was conducted shortly after the release of 2010. Apart from the fact that Exchange 2010 was released before the survey, most of the administrators planned to migrate to 2007, therefore the conclusion by Metalogix that the adoption of Exchange 2010 will not increase for at least two years more.

Despite user skepticism, Microsoft is marketing its new exchange server as a cost cutting choice. According to the cost saving calculator of Microsoft, users can save hundreds of thousands of dollars every year if they switch from 2003 to 2010. Most of the calculation requires use of the new exchange as a unified communication server. Most of the savings are in the form of third-party fees for services like voicemail, archiving and mobility. If those services are found in house, then savings may not be found.
