ESEUTIL /R WON'T RUN!! HELP!!

[Timothy J. Trace]

My Exchange 2k post-SP3 server seems to run OK, but the information store
cannot be backed up.  It fails, repeatedly, with corrupt file errors. 
Multiple reboots, including chkdsk /f, don't help.

A mailbox-level backup (courtesy of BackupExec v9) seems to work fine. 
I'm fairly confident that all of the user's items are protected by the
mailbox-level backup.

HOWEVER - as you probably guessed, the inability to complete a store
backup means that the .LOG files are piling up.  In fact, there are
something on the order of 3900+ .LOG files, each exactly 5.12MB, in the
MDBDATA folder!!

So, I ran ESEUTIL /R as part of the trouble-shooting process.  After
160-odd minutes, ESEUTIL exited with the following message:

Operation terminated with error -614 (JET_errCheckpointDepthTooDeep, too
many outstanding generations between checkpoint and current generation)
after 9678.31 seconds.

Searching Google Web and Google Groups for the phrase too many
outstanding generations gets no results.  Since a Google Web search
includes the Microsoft KnowledgeBase, I think I've got a very rare problem
on my hands.

What do I do now?

There are only 50-odd users on this server.  Do I have the option of
backing up to .PST, then creating a new information store?  What do I do
to delete the old store, so that it doesn't interfere with the new store?

TIA - Tim ==

OWA Newbie

[Timothy J. Trace]

Greetings:

I've would greatly appreciate some help planning an OWA implementation.
I've heard that there's a few experts here who might be able to help...

Here's some specifics of my situation:

I've got a back-to-back DMZ using ISA 2000 Server Standard Edition.

The ISA Server Systems, and the DMZ systems, are not attached to any
domain, and rely on public DNS or straight IP addressing.

There's an IIS 5.0 server in the DMZ that hosts a number of websites, and
a few apps which pull information from a SQL server located on my private
network. That's all working correctly.

The DMZ IIS server also serves as my inbound SMTP relay, and it's working
correctly as well.

For many reasons, cost included, that IIS server is a very attractive
choice for OWA.

So here's the big question: what's my best approach for implementing OWA?
Ease of implementation, security and reliability are concerns, in that
order.

Thanks very much, in advance,

Tim ==
