Behind corruption of MS-Exchange Server, faulty hardware is one of the major factors. Corruption in Exchange Server occurs shortly. In order to get rid of this issue, soft recovery can be used. Soft recovery is an automatic replay process of transaction log files that take place when a database is mounted again after an unexpected stop. Soft recovery employs the checkpoint file to check which transaction log file to start with it when transactions are replayed into databases sequentially. This is how; process of soft recovery helps you to make the databases up to date with all recorded transactions.
Discussed below is an event ID that is observed in the log file at a time of performing soft recovery. That, event ID appears to be like this:
“Product Name: Exchange

Same error message disturbs every time while performing soft recovery. Recovery cannot be carried out smoothly.

Reason for the occurrence of above error message is the detection of corruption in the log file while carrying out soft recovery.
