If all your clients are MAPI (i.e. Outlook) then you may just about get away
with a blank priv1.stm file since most data in it will also be in the .edb
file.

Therefore is it worth trying to start the store with no stm file as an
experiment & see if one gets created?

Subject: Exchange 2K crash after defrag with Eseutil


Help !

Has anybody managed  to recover an information store after Eseutil has
crashed.

I was busy defragging the private information store and the whole process
went perfectly until the point where it copies the temp files over the
existing files. It copied priv1.edb over succesfully and then crashed
leaving me with the undefragmented priv1.stm.

I tried to copy the temp .stm across manually and then renamed it and
performed a whole host of checks with eseutil and isinteg but the server
just doesn't want to know about it.

And of course, who didn't check to see that they had a full backup before
starting the defrag ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Antony
