Event Viewer: Event Type: Error Event Source: MSExchangeIS Event Category: General Event ID: 9519 Date: 09.02.2006 Time: 13:19:10 User: N/A Computer: EXCH Description: Error Database is in inconsistent state starting database "First Storage Group\Public Folder Store (EXCH)" on the Microsoft Exchange Information Store. Failed to attach to Jet DB.
My executed actions: The PFS is dismount (offline), no log files
1. isinteg with keys -fix -test allfoldertest: "Cannot initiate verification process" 2. eseutil with key /r complete impossible, because no log files 3. eseutil with key /p on step "Scanning status" percent grow to 42% and quit with system error (only exeption, no other messages)
Current status of public folders database: "Dirty Shutdown"
As you mentioned that the state of the PF is dirty shutdown, use the eseutil /mh command to find out which is the log file which is required to make the database consistent.check if you have that log file on the machine. if yes copy that log in the folder where you have the other logs and try to mount the PFStore. and if that log is not there the only option you have is to either restore the database from backup or do a hard repair of the database(u may also loose some data)
But that you have described are standard actions at restoration. I have written, that the utility eseutil with /p key doesnt work, read my first message, punkt 3.
Is the problem only with the public database(how about the private database). Before you used the /p command did you take a flat backup of the databse,if yes try running the /p command again. You have mentioned that there were no error mesages when the command terminated. did u check the application logs for any errors,that could be of some help.
