| Description | MSExchangeIS is unable to recover the database because error 0x00000057 occurred after a restore operation. |
| Event Information | According to Microsoft: CAUSE: When the information store tries to start after an on-line restore, it attempts to read the RestoreInProgress key to determine how to handle the on-line restore. In this case, the Data parameter in the EDB_RstMap value was corrupt, and Microsoft Information Store service failed attempting to read this string. Hex 57 converts to Dec. 87. When using NET HELPMSG 87, this produces the error message: The parameter is incorrect. The Exchange Server-aware backup software restored the RestoreInProgress key incorrectly. The EDB_RstMap value had invalid entries in the DATA field. It looked as follows: Name: EDB_RstMap Type: Reg_Multi_SZ Data: \\Server\D$\exchsrvr\mdbdata\pub.edb \\Server\D$\exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv.edb \\Server\D$\exchsrvr\mdbdata\PUB. RESOLUTION: WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk. To correct the problem, the above string needs to be modified to reflect the proper database paths. Do the following: 1. Start the Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe). 2. Locate the EDB_RstMap registry value under the following key in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\Res toreInProgress. 3. Click String on the Edit menu, type the appropriate paths, and then click OK. Here is an example of a correct EDB_RstMap Key: Value 3 Name: EDB_RstMap Type: Reg_Multi_SZ Data: \\<Server_Name>\D$\exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv.edb \\<Server_Name>\D$\exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv.edb \\<Server_Name>\D$\exchsrvr\mdbdata\pub.edb \\<Server_Name>\D$\exchsrvr\mdbdata\pub.edb 4. Quit the Registry Editor. |
