Move all the mailboxes off the first server. Then follow all the intructions to remove the first server in the site (152959). Then remove the server from service, fix the disk subsystem problems that are causing the -1018 errors, then rebuild the server from scratch. You really want to do it this way. Trust me.

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.
