SUMMARY

After you upgrade the major (that is, Microsoft Windows NT 3.51. to Windows NT 4.0) or minor version (that is, Windows NT Service Pack 3 to Windows NT Service Pack 4) of Windows NT on an Exchange Server computer, the following events are logged in the Windows NT Event Viewer application event log:

Event ID: 172
Source: ESE97
Type: Error
Category: Table/Column/Index
Description:
'MSExchangeIS ((298))' The database engine is initiating index cleanup of database 'c:\exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv.edb' as a result of an NT version upgrade from '4.0.1381 SP3' to '4.0.1381 SP4'.

Event ID: 173

Event ID: 174
Source: ESE97
Type: Error
Category: Table/Column/Index
Description:
'MSExchangeIS ((298))' Database 'c:\exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv.edb': The secondary index '+Q6749+S3001+Q6748 409' of table 'Folder' will be rebuilt as a precautionary measure after the NT version upgrade of this system.

NOTE: The items surrounded by single quotes in the event IDs above do not always match what is listed in the above example.

MORE INFORMATION

The Exchange Server Database engine has detected a potential change (or fix) in the sort order for various characters in the newly installed version (major or minor) of Windows NT. To prevent any corruption to secondary indexes, the Exchange Server Database engine assumes that the sort order has changed and initiates the rebuilding of the indexes.

APPLIES TO

Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 Standard Edition
