You will receive the following phrase in the event Description: ESEUTIL (number) The database engine lost one page of bad data. It is highly recommended that an application-level integrity check of the database be run to ensure application-level data integrity. When a database is in an inconsistent condition and a repair using Eseutil /p is performed on the database, an ESE Event ID 500 has been known to occur during the repair. The event indicates that the repair process found a bad page and attempted to repair it, but the repair of the page was unsuccessful and the page was discarded. ESE Event ID 500 has been found to be a serious error which can be indicative of a damaged database Resolution: If the repair process is successful, run Isinteg -fix on the database. Then use ExMerge to save the data to .pst files, create a blank database and ExMerge the data back into the new database. As an alternative, use Move Mailbox to move the mailboxes to an alternative server. If hardware problems are the root cause of the database damage, do not ExMerge or move mailbox back until the root cause has been fixed. If the repair process fails because the database is too damaged even for a repair, then you must restore from Exchange-aware online backup. If there is no valid backup available, check to find out if users are storing their data locally in .pst files on their client machines. If they are, create a new blank database and use the .pst files to recover as much data as possible. |
