I did that, and I get a -1181 JET_errFileNotFound error. -----Original Message----- From: David N. Precht [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, July 26, 2002 2:39 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Exchange 5.5 recovery/restore questions...
Event 5000: Unable to initialize the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service. Error Database is in inconsistent state. The problem occurs when the Information Store stops abnormally and the Eseutil.exe hard repair option (/P) is run against the Priv.edb file to return it to a state in which it can be started. In addition, the previous transaction log files were deleted, as recommended in the Eseutil dialog box, but hard repair was not run against the Pub.edb file.

Happy Friday! We are running Exchange 5.5 SP 4 on NT 4.0 SP 6a in production. I am testing our DR abilities. We use Backup Exec 8.5 to perform online backups with the Exchange agent. We have 3 mail servers: mail1 (first in site), mail2, and macmail. I built a little test network. I built a BDC in our production environment, and then moved it to it's own network, promoting it to the PDC. I then built mail1 just like it exists live. I restored the IS, DS, DSADATA and MDBDATA directories. Everything went smoothly. I wanted to then test the ability to test mail2. I renamed mail1 to mail2, and restored the appropriate files. I get the following error when attempting to start the IS: "The Microsoft Exchange Information Store service returned service specific error 4015." When I look in event viewer, I see these two: Event ID: 1121 Source: MSExchangeIS Error 0xfaf connecting to the Microsoft Exchange Server Directory Service. Event ID:5000 Source: MSExchangeIS Unable to initialize the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service. Error 0xfaf. Any ideas??? The DS starts no problem. Is it related to the first server in the site not being present?
