RE: Error 1018

Title: Message

I just ran into the same exact problem.  I can forward you what Microsoft gave me (they ended up refunding my $245) if you’d like.  It is just one article about the –1018 errors and a few other basics that you can find online anyway.  I wasn’t aware that they signified hardware errors until after my call, although I assumed that is what was happening.  We had cheap hardware and are still in the process of moving it.  Nothing has become corrupt yet, but I’m hoping to get a new server out of the deal.   -----Original Message----- From: Jamie Domingue [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 18, 2002 12:33 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Error 1018   First errors were as follows MSExchangeIS (1576) Direct read found corrupted page (4079053) with error -1018. Please restore the databases from a previous backup.   Followed by: MSExchangeIS (1576) A read of the database file D:\exchsrvr\MDBDATA\PRIV.EDB between offsets 0xFFFFFFFFE3DC0000 and 0xFFFFFFFFE3DCFFFF failed after 16 failed read attempts with error -1018. There is a software or  hardware problem affecting the database drive that must be corrected to preserve database integrity.
