eseutil /mh output |
|
|
Dear all,
I need some clarifications on the output displayed when executing the "eseutil /mh <database_path>" command. I got an output for my information store when I ran the command "eseutil /mh <My_Database_Name.edb>"

Please note the following two lines that appeared above:
------------------8<-----------------
State: Dirty Shutdown
Log Required: 2-2
------------------8<-----------------
The "Log Required" is "2-2". What does that mean? What are all the log files missing? How can I know the log file names that are missing? Please advice.
Many thanks in advance,
Nesan Joseph R.

As per the output, it seems that the database is dirty shutdown,That is, the database is not complete, and it requires two other log files to make the database to clean shutdown
The reason is, The ESE keeps writing the database when there is mailflow in the server. The ESE also create log files for the same.
The logfiles are used to recover the database in case of database crash.
Now, to resolve your problem, you can run softrecovery to recover the database. refer the link http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997761(EXCHG.65).aspx. Provided you have the required log files
If that fails you can run Hard recovery or do a hard repair |
