Today, corruption of data on Exchange Server is a common issue which can happen anytime with Exchange Server. This makes the entire database inaccessible and user is unable to fetch the data until it is repaired. This problem can be solved easily with the help of Exchange database recovery software.

Microsoft Exchange Server is an e-mail communication server developed by Microsoft for Outlook and other e-mail clients. When you work on Outlook, all the data is synchronized with Exchange Server. At times, you may face issues while synchronizing data with Exchange Server which usually happens due to corrupt database. However, an EDB file can get corrupt due to any of the following reasons:

• Logical corruption of Exchange database
• Antivirus software has quarantined the database file
• Exchange Transaction log files are damaged

An Exchange Server stores the entire user mailboxes in an Exchange Database file which is also known as EDB file. In order to repair the corrupt database file, you can use inbuilt utility i.e. ‘Eseutil’ to repair the corrupt EDB file. To repair the corrupt database using this utility, you need to use the following command:

“ESEUTIL /P database_filename.edb”

Where ‘database_filename’ is the name of EDB file or Exchange Server database.

After using this utility, if you are still unable to repair the database then you can restore the database from a recent backup. However, if you do not have a backup or the backup is not valid then you may have to shut down the server which can cause loss of productivity in an organization.

In such situations, you need to repair the database quickly in order to avoid loss of productivity and the same task can be done with the help of a third-party Exchange database recovery software. These software can help you to safely repair Exchange Server database (.EDB) file and restore the recovered data in a .PST file that can be easily imported to MS Outlook.

One of such software that allows you to easily repair the corrupt EDB file is Stellar Phoenix Mailbox Exchange Recovery. This Exchange repair software is available with a free demo version so that you can easily check its functions and working. Moreover, this tool allows selective recovery of user mailboxes including all Outlook items like emails, tasks, calendar items, appointments, etc.
