If you're going to run isinteg and eseutil, then the "current one" will most certainly go down during the repair.
If I understand your plan, you're bringing up another server in the same site and using the Move Mailbox process to transfer mailboxes from the corrupt store to the new server's store. In that situation, after you've moved all of the mailboxes the users won't be connecting into the old server beyond the first time after their mailbox moved, in which case they'll get redirected to the new server. Since everyone will be using the new server, there isn't really a need to repair the corrupt store. You can blow it away, have Exchange create a new empty store, and then move all of the mailboxes back. This assumes that you've resolved the cause of the -1018 error. As another post suggested, a call to PSS might not be a bad idea to guide you through the process. -----Original Message----- From: April Fleming [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 16, 2004 9:07 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: fixing 1018 error question I want to run isinteg and eseutil on my current production exchange 5.5 server to fix 1018 errors (I know that there could be data loss...), however what I have planned to do is to move all of the mailboxes over to a new server before I work on the current server to ensure that everyone can continue using email if the current one goes down during the repair. If I move the mailboxes (hence all data is now on another server) will the isinteg and eseutil still work on the first server, or will I have just moved the corruption from one server to the other. I was under the impression that 1018 corruption was probably a hardware issue, so I think it should still work.... Any thoughts??? Ps. I promise to "do this" soon and quit asking questions about it, however it is my first big Exchange project, and I want to make sure I do it right! Thank you.
