Re: Unable to access or delete mail
ISINTEG utiility is used for testing fixing a corrupt database file. Now,
with that being said, it may attempt to delete records and tables in the
corrupt database to get it back to a working condition so you can mount it.
Always good to have a backup just in case but if the corruption carried to
the backup then it might not be of any help. ISINTEG is fairly safe to use
and I would recommend it as a first step to getting your database back to a
normal state.

Re: Unable to access or delete mail
Hey John. I'm having a little trouble getting the ISINTEG to run. I'm
trying to map it to run on a network drive, v to a shared folder named
defrag. The following is the syntax that I'm using:
isinteg exchange2000 -fix -t v:\ -defrag
The name of my exchange server is exchange 2000. Is my command line syntax
correct?

Re: Unable to access or delete mail
Nigel,
Lets step back a moment. Did you ever get ESEUTIL to run correctly with /P
switch? If not, rerun it on a computer other than Exchange since you stated
you were slim on space,
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=244525
Start with integrity check,
Eseutil /G
Then Repair
/P

Note:
It is recommended that you immediately perform a full backup
of this database. If you restore a backup made before the
repair, the database will be rolled back to the state
it was in at the time of that backup.
Operation completed successfully with 595 (JET_wrnDatabaseRepaired, Database

ruption has been repaired) after 1545.516 seconds.
As you can see both the /g and /p commands were completed. What i need to
do now is to run the isinteg. Now, bothe the .edb and .stm were rebuilt.
After this rebuild is when access was blocked to certain items. Hope this
helps.

Re: Unable to access or delete mail
Hi,
How to run isinteg is described here
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;301460
The parameters would be "isinteg -s servername -fix -test alltests"
Run isinteg until number of errors reported are zero or constant.

Re: Unable to access or delete mail
Hey Leif
Thanks for your response. My question is, I have only 400 MB available on
my exchange drive. I'm trying to get a handle on the syntax to run the
ISINTEG on a mapped network drive, but this is where I'm getting problems.
The drive that I have mapped is a v: with a shared folder named defrag. Or
would i be able to run the ISINTEG with that amount of space available?

Hi,
You should be able to run isinteg with the space available.
