Hi I've got a similar problem to a number of other people (I've just spent 6 hours reading through posts to find a solution) Its a Win2k server with Exchange 5.5. I've done "isinteg" etc and no joy. I can't restore from the backup because it will only do it if the Information Store service is running!! I'm getting the error 1067 when I try to start the Exchange Information Store service. Now all the mail is backed up in pst files, so I'm not too worried about losing anything, I just want to wipe the priv1.edb and pub1.edb files and start afresh. Is this possible? thanks Mike
Hi MikeP, That is possible. If all you are looking to do is get up a blank priv1.edb and pub1.edb it is very simple to do. 1) Stop the information store service 2) Rename priv1.edb and pub1.edb to a new name 3) Move all transaction log files to a safe location (the will be named edb*.log) 4) Delete the edb.chk file 5) Start the information store service. You will now have a new blank priv and pub.

Thanks for that, and so quickly, but unfortunately it didn't work, I'm still getting the 1067 error. Does this mean that I have some other problem with active directory or something? The MTA Stack, Routing Enginge and System Attendant services are all starting ok.
Could you post a little more information on the error event? /Simon "MikeP" wrote in message news:1138722107.141625.274860@g49g2000cwa.googlegroups.com... > Thanks for that, and so quickly, but unfortunately it didn't work, I'm > still getting the 1067 error.

these are the errors once logging was turned up to max "Following client routing node failed to connect to its resvc" then it gives the path to store.exe and "Error initialising session for virtual machine <servername> The error number is 0x8004011d"

Problem solved, at least pst files are reliable!
