Hi all! It's been a while since I've asked for assistance, but this one's got us AND PSS stumped. This past Sunday, we decided to increase disk space on our Exchange server by swapping disk drives out with larger ones. We went from an 8 gig volume to an 18 gig (3 9-gig drives/RAID5). All worked well. We used Veritas Backup Exec version 8.5 with the Exchange agent and Intelligent Disaster Recovery option. This seemed to backup and restore just fine. However, the IS did NOT come up. Had service specific error 4294966768 when it tried to start. Tried running ESEUTIL /r, but that did nothing. We tried on our own to do ESEUTIL /P which did work, but then the MTA did not start - inconsistent and a Windows NT internal error 2140 occurred. We restored all over again with PSS helping us. They had us do exactly what we did prior, but we added ISINTEG -fix to both the priv and pub.edb files, then ISINTEG - patch. We also were able to restore the MTA, which again did not work, by copying the mtadata directory DAT files from the 5.5 CD. All of this worked, although rebooting caused us to have to run the ISINTEG - patch. We had error 1011 when trying to start the IS. Anyway, all was ok, but we're still left with the mind-boggling question "why are these ONLINE Exchange-aware restores NOT providing us with a 'restore in progress' key?". As per PSS, this should happen BEFORE the .PAT file creation in the MDBDATA directory. Ok...any ideas? Anyone else experience these oddities?
