| Event Information | CAUSE This behavior can occur when a file from the Mtadata folder is absent or corrupted. RESOLUTION To resolve this behavior, follow these steps: 1. If it is still running, stop the MTA service. 2. Copy all the files from the Mtadata folder on the installation CD-ROM to the Mtadata folder in Exchange Server, with the exception of the files Db000001.dat through Db000027.dat. NOTE: Make sure that you copy the Mtadata folder files from the correct processor platform. 3. For each of the new files, remove the read-only attribute. 4. Re-apply the appropriate Exchange 5.5 Service Pack to ensure that the files copied from the Exchange 5.5 installation CD-ROM match the Service Pack level of the MTA binaries in the Exchsrvr\bin folder. 5. At a command prompt from the \Exchsrvr\bin directory, run mtacheck. 6. When Mtacheck completes, it should display "Database clean, no errors detected." Restart the MTA. |
