We have an Exchange 5.5 server running on Windows 2000 SP4.

It lost a disk, crashed, and after we recovered the array integrity it booteed up, however Exchange would continue to crash almost nightly.

By "crash" i mean it would be stuck in a state where it didn't seem to receive or deliver any mail, yet still seemed to be running.

We found quite a number of errors in the app log like this:

Code:
10/2/2009   8:36:36 AM   MSExchangeIS Private   Error   Background Cleanup    1101   N/A   HOSTNAME_CLEANSED Error 0xfffffbd3 occurred on message 13-1A78155 during a background cleanup.


Entire pages of that error over and over.

This prompted us to run ISINTEG.

Which failed out on test 8:

Code:

C:\exchsrvr\bin>ISINTEG -PRI -FIX -TEST ALLTESTS
Microsoft Exchange Information Store Integrity Checker v5.5.2653.22
Copyright (c) 1986-1997 Microsoft Corp.    All rights reserved.

WARNING!!! You have chosen to run all of the tests. This may take a long
time.

It is highly recommended that you select individual tests to save time.

Please see the ISINTEG.DOC located on the Exchange Server 5.5 CD in the

\SERVER\SUPPORT\UTILS directory for additional information.
ISINTEG /? will display the list of individual tests.

<<<Press "y" to continue to do all tests, any other key to quit>>> =>y

I have some ideas on what to do next, but really could use a second opinion as administering Exchange just isn't my comfort zone.

Thanks so much, and my apologies if I left out some important details.
