How about calling PSS? They are supposed to be pretty good at fixing
problems....It may or may not produce a quicker result, but I'm betting you
would be able to get some first-hand instruction on using some of the repair
utilities.

Subject: Private IS corruption...
Hi everybody!
My Private Information Store was corrupted by a RAID array problem. I
have repaired the drive array, and restored my last backup of the IS,
however, the IS corruption persists. I get -1018 errors, and Outlook
clients have periodic troubles moving or deleting messages. I have tried
ESEUTIL and ISINTEG, but they fail with JetDatabase read/verify errors. I
have tried everything to repair this IS and admit defeat. I have one idea
on how to work around this and would like your input/opinion of this idea.
I propose to:
1) set up a temporary Exchange server in the same site
2) move the mailboxes to the new server
3) delete the corrupted PRIV.EDB from the original server and let the
system create a fresh one
4) move the Mailboxes back to the original server/fresh IS
5) take down the temporary server
Do you think that will work? and/or can you think of anything else to do?
Thanks,
Rob Ayers
