Exchange 5.5 priv.edb corrupt

Locked

I have a client without backups, of course. Their priv.edb went down inconsistent – and i have run eseutil /p, and eseutil /r til my face is blue – to no avail. Anyone know of any other options/utilities to check into?

Thanks for your help.

Yep…
This utility will extract as PSTs what’s in the EDB.

(It’s a little expensive, but it does work)

You can also try this utility; but it’s mostly ment for a good EDB that you need stuff out of.

thanks alot – we checked out the office recovery and although it takes FOREVER to get all the way through – it worked like a champ. recovered 95% of the data – only caveat, is that the recovered emails will not contain the actual email addresses, both to: and from: they will only show up as unknown@unknown.unk – and no contacts recovered.

great help though – thanks a lot!!!

Mike

The only other thing you can do is to move just the log files to a different directory and then run isinteg-fix this is a distructive rebuild but if you make a copy first of all the files then run it, if it crashes during it you can try again. REMEMBER: move all the log files out of the directory but keep Priv.edb and pub and ds in there.
