How many transaction log files do you have? There is a way to chop them all off and just go based on the information that is in the database files. But you will lose some information that only exists in the recent logs and has not been commited to the database.
Also you can use the eseutil /MH to see which logs have been commited and what log is required. To find out more about /MH, /ML, and /MK switches, check this article: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;KO;296843 The article also covers scenarios like "Recovering by Removing All Transaction Log Files" and "Recovering Without Removing All Transaction Log Files". -----Original Message----- From: Crista Murphy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2004 8:58 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Recovery of 2k I'm not running the scanner against exchange... it turns out that one of the owners here has been hard rebooting the machine every morning because 'he knows it needed it.'
