so we're getting 1018 errors.... Here's the details: single-server single site (ASP stuff with multiple address book views) nt4.0 sp6a exchange 5.5 with sp4 and post fixes - Antigen 7.0 as the virus scanner, but previously version 6.5.
We run nightly full backups. We have been receiving 1018 errors only on weekends - this seems strange to me, since I would think that we would receive them nightly. We performed an eseutil /p as well as an isinteg /alltests to clear the errors - Result: still getting errors. I realize that 1018's point towards hardware, but we're just not seeing any hardware problems. We're swapping out the RAID card just to see if that helps, but the 1018's still need to be fixed. I spoke to Msft and they said that they don't recommend running a database in production after a /p is performed, but that the /p is used to prepare the server to be "exmerged" and then fixed. Running an Exmerge to fix the server is a total nightmare, in my mind, losing all of the appointment stuff and various other settings that I don't want to lose. Aside from an Exmerge, does anyone have any suggestions? And does anyone know why msft doesn't recommend running a /p'd database in production? Oh, and I forgot: if there's not a hardware error (which so far there is not) even though msft says that 1018's are rarely generated if there are no hardware issues, has anyone experienced 1018's without hardware errors present? Any suggestions, smart-ass or otherwise would be helpful - and entertaining.
