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?

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 _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This e-mail, and any attachment, is confidential.
