Sometimes the Exchange server hiccups or your antivirus software decided that one of the precious transaction log files contains a Netsky virus. Then end result is the same. Exchange store is dismounted. Remounting it only says a certain log file is missing. What to do? There are plenty of websites showing the solution. This serves as my bookmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
1. Check if the database is a clean shutdown mode. 2. Run Recovery to force a clean shutdown. Note this will replay logs. a. Restore from tape. Recommended a. Restore the database from tape. This should be from an online backup. Restore will take about 2 to 3 hours. Replay the logs by running eseutil \/cc <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n b. Repairing the database using eseutil. This can take up to several hours. For example, a 17GB database can take up 5 hours for the repair job, another 4 hours to defrag and 4 hours to do an integrity check. Note the repair job appears to hang at “deleting unicode fixup table” can take a few hours. Monitor using Task Manager.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sometimes the Exchange server hiccups or your antivirus software decided that one of the precious transaction log files contains a Netsky virus.

Run eseutil \/mh <\/strong>. This 10-second job will most probably say something in the top 10 lines “Dirty Shutdown”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\neseutil \/r e00<\/strong> will perform a soft recovery. If this is still not successful, a decision has to be made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
