Exchange Servers help organizations in storing their email transactions rather being dependent on private mail servers, like gmail, yahoo or rediffmail. The Exchange database stores all the user mailboxes of the entire organization. With many business critical email transactions, including emails, contacts, notes, calendar entries etc, if the Exchange Server database encounters any problem, all the data in it becomes completely inaccessible. However, do not worry, there are many Exchange Server recovery software available in the market with which you can repair the corrupt Exchange Server database and recover your inaccessible data back.


Usually, due to virus infection, file system corruption, operating system problem or contradiction with any installed hardware/software, the Exchange Server database gets corrupt. The application event log of the MS Exchange Server contains all the entries of the events along with corresponding error reports. From the error reports, you can get to know about the exact reason behind the Exchange Server corruption.

Below is an error message that you may encounter, if your Exchange Server 2000 has been corrupt:

“Date: Date
Source: ESE
Time: Time
Category: Database Corruption
Type: Error
Event ID: 448
User: N/A
Computer: ServerName
Description: Information Store (2412) Data inconsistency detected in table Msg of database E:\Program Files\exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv4.edb (0,524957).”

In case of the above error, if you check the problem by running ‘eseutil/g’, the Exchange Server displays another error message as below:

“The Database is corrupted.”

As it is quite clear that the Exchange database has been corrupt, you need to study the event log carefully to get at the exact solution. Here, you can follow the below procedures to resolve the above Exchange Server problem:

• If you think that the problem is due to any faulty driver or hardware, try to locate it and resolve by changing the faulty hardware. Also, update the required drivers.

• If the problem persists and you are running the information store, you need to move the data from the Exchange database to a new database. In order to do this, first use the 'Exchange Mailbox Merge' utility to export mail objects to PST files. After this, delete the corrupt database, create a new database and move data to the newly created blank database by using ‘Exmerge’ command.

If the problem is still there, try to restore data from a previously created valid backup. If you do not have any recent backup of the Exchange database, immediately opt for any Exchange Server Recovery software.

Stellar Phoenix Mailbox Exchange Recovery is one of the advanced Exchange recovery software to repair severely corrupt Exchange database and recover all the mailboxes back. The software is completely reliable and with 100% read-only recovery process, it recovers the mail objects in their original format.
