Repairing is always the last resort and I would only use it when you don't have a good backup. I'd rather restore from backup than repair with any version of Exchange.

Went through a corrupt store back in February tried to fix it but after wasting 12 hours just went back to tape. Had the same permissions errors, etc. When I move to 2003, I also hope it's repair is features are better. -----Original Message----- From: allan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 18, 2004 9:45 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Store corruption Platform Ex5.5 SP4, NT4 SP6 Situation: had a SCSI controller go bad and somehow corrupt the store. Whenever I tried to start it Dr. Watson error on store.exe. ESEUTIL -g showed inconsistencies. ESEUTIL -r also generated Dr. Watson when it tried to start the store. Finally ESEUTIL -p which of course went through draconian style and "Fixed" everything. So the store comes up but with funky problems e.g. 1. Folder reads "unread messages -1" 2. User can't resize preview pane (on any workstation) he gets a permissions error. 3. Folder has 1 unread message but there isn't one. Marking all contents in folder as Read does not change it. Etc.Etc.Etc. I suggested we lose a days mail and restore from previous day backup. Mngmt said we are back up we will live with it. My Question: When I move to Ex2003 through ADU&C move mailbox are these discrepancies likely to go away? Thanks for any input.
