My goal is to mount MS Exchange datastore. I restored backup of that datastore to the virtual MS Exchange server (copy of the one in production, the only difference is the server name) to the same group. I cannot mount it. I am trying to use the eseutil to bring it to life. I ran: E:\Program Files\Exchangesrvr\bin\eseutil.exe /mh "o:\2010_regular|Regular MailboxStoe.edb" it gave me state: Dirty shutdown. I am trying to run the same command with \d, gives me: Operation terminated with error -550(JET_errDatabaseDirtyShutdown, Database was not shgutdown cleanly. Recovery must first be run to properly complete datbase operations for the previous shutdown.) Do I need to run eseutil /r or /p? Could you clarify what is the correct approch to this procedure? What is the correct syntax? Thank you,

1. If you restored the databse, did you not have any logs restored too, did you not specify a temp location for the logs, you should replay the logs using eseutil /CC 2. Or do you remeber selecting the last restore check box in your back program. 3. If you cant do the above then you can use the eseutil /p switch http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997761(EXCHG.65).aspxSukh

Hi, 1. Firstly, try soft repair (eseutil /r). 2. Run eseutil.exe /mh check again. 3. If Softrepair doens't work try hard repair(eseutil /p) 4. defragmentation of db:(eseutil /d) Follow the steps below: http://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/show/109 Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
