What you are doing is likely the easiest potential way to recover. No comment on SBS-isms.
That being said, -1018 are almost ALWAYS because of hardware problems. You should take a close look at the disks you are using and any firmware updates that can be applied to them or their controllers. From: James Hill [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, April 02, 2012 5:49 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: SBS 2008 and Mailbox stores I have a SBS 2008 server that has not been able to backup exchange due to a page error in the Mailbox Database. ESE Event Details: MSExchangeIS (4584) First Storage Group: The database page read from the file "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Mailbox\First Storage Group\Mailbox Database.edb" at offset 27811635200 (0x0000000679b3e000) (database page 3394974 (0x33CD9E)) for 8192 (0x00002000) bytes failed verification due to a page checksum mismatch. The expected checksum was -8616380511026251030 (0x886c7793a6ae7aea) and the actual checksum was -8489155763591536360 (0x8a3075cf7c2aa118). The read operation will fail with error -1018 (0xfffffc06). If this condition persists then please restore the database from a previous backup. This problem is likely due to faulty hardware. Please contact your hardware vendor for further assistance diagnosing the problem. For more information, click http://www.microsoft.com/contentredirect.asp. MSExchangeIS Mailbox Store Event Details: Error Read verification error occurred on message 1-488CA0533D during a background cleanup on database "First Storage Group\Mailbox Database". I've created a new Storage Group and mailbox database and am currently moving the mailboxes into it. I want to then remove the First Storage Group\Mailbox Database, create a new one and then move the mailboxes back. Is this the easiest method? The reason I want the mailboxes back in the First Storage group and mailbox database is that I expect some SBS functions (like mailbox creation) will fail if it isn't configured with the defaults. Am I on the right track here?
