Exchange Server And It's Reason for Corruption

As we all know that Exchange Server use EDB and STM files to store its data. Exchange Server stores all its default mailboxes in Priv1.edb and Priv1.stm files. There are many tables in .edb file that contains meta data for all e-mails and other items in the Exchange store. 

Database(EDB+STM)+Entries in transaction logs(LOG File)= Current Database

 By the corporate perspective EDB file in the Exchange server is the most important part because it consists all required or non required files and folders thats why there are many chances of corruption. EDB file stores all mailboxes with their whole items like attachments, emails, calender events, etc. Or once it will corrupt you have chance to loose all data.

If such type of any occurrence happen like virus attack, hardware-or software failure, and sudden power failure etc and because of that your EDB file get corrupted, no need to worry there are many methods for repairing EDB file and the recovery of its data.

Exchange Database Recovery prevents data loss due to mortiferous Exchange Server Errors

Power failures are ineluctable both for a novel and connoisseur Exchange Server user. Like a bolt from the blue, abrupt power failures, also termed as dirty shutdown affect the Information Store causing exchange database corruption. Abnormal termination causes the Information Store to crash and is one of the key factors responsible for Exchange database (EDB file) corruption.

Information Store Service is the pivotal element of Microsoft Exchange Server whose damage or corruption eliminates the entire accessibility of the user mailbox data stored on the server. Though this fact is indubitable that emails hold inestimable value for its owner but when the Exchange Infomation Store is affected rendering the user mailbox data inaccessible, a user also looses his contacts, calendars, tasks, journals, notes, schedules and appointments which can drastically play havoc in the life of a corporate guy.

But, for every problem there exists a solution as well. A lucid solution is to restore the Exchange Server database using an updated backup. Nonetheless, a backup may not be available in certain cases, or while trying to restore the database, using the backup file, certain error messages might forestall the process.

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:

How to Perform Exchange Server Recovery for inaccessible data ?

Exchange Server is a popular e-mail communication server. These days, almost all big organizations are implementing it as their main mail server. When any problem occurs in Exchange Server, it logs the troubled event IDs in the application log along with their system diagnosis. In general, the reason behind most of the error messages, is the corruption of Exchange Server database and this corruption leads to the inaccessibility of Exchange Server database. Well, data loss can be overcome, if you have the latest backup of your data. However, if backup is not available, then you need to go for a third party Exchange Server recovery software.

In respect of the above issue, let us consider a practical case. Suppose, your Microsoft Exchange 2003 server has got locked for no reason. And, when you rebooted the Server, you failed to start that up. On viewing the application event log, you saw the following event IDs on the screen:

“Event Type: Error
Event Source: MSExchangeIS

failed with unexpected error -501.”

And, when an attempt was made to mount the public folder, an error message written as below appeared on the screen:

“The database files in this store are corrupted”

Reason: The primary cause, which is responsible for the occurrence of above error message is the corruption of the Exchange Server database. Corruption occurs because of unexpected system shutdown, operating system failure, human error, application malfunction etc.

How to solve ? : In order to solve the above problem you need to apply soft repair method first. Follow the following steps to perform the soft repair process:

1) Run the following commands to check the consistency of database:
   eseutil /mh ..\mdbdata\priv.edb > mypriv.txt
   eseutil /mh ..\mdbdatapub.edb > mypub.txt

2) If any of the databases are found to be inconsistent, use the following commands to carry out the soft repair solution:

eseutil /r /ispriv
eseutil /r /ispub

3) Now use the steps listed in the MS KB article:
"How to recover from information store corruption"
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q272570

But sometimes, execution of 'ESEUTIL' utility results data loss in Exchange Server. For good results, it is better to opt for a third party Exchange Server Recovery tool.
