SUMMARY

This article describes how to determine if your database has been repaired by using the Eseutil /p command.

MORE INFORMATION

To see if your database has been repaired by using the Eseutil /p command, dump the header using one of the following commands for the private information store:

ESEUTIL /mh x:\exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv.edb |more

-or-

ESEUTIL /mh x:\exchsrvr\mdbdata\pub.edb |more

The output looks similar to the following example:

Microsoft(R) Windows NT(TM) Server Database Utilities
Version 5.5
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1991-1999. All Rights Reserved.

Initiating FILE DUMP mode...
Database: d:\exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv.edb

Format ulMagic: 0x89abcdef
Engine ulMagic: 0x89abcdef
Format ulVersion: 0x620,2
Engine ulVersion: 0x620,2
DB Signature: Create time:4/5/2000 17:48:52 Rand:769046 Computer:
cbDbPage: 4096
dbtime: 556457
State: Consistent
Shadowed: Yes
Last Objid: 184
Scrub Dbtime: 0
Scrub Date: 00/00/1900 00:00:00
Repair Count: 1
Repair Date: 2/20/2000 10:48:50

If the database has not been repaired, the repair count is zero and the repair date is 1/1/1900 00:00.

Note If you run the Eseutil /p on a database that is not damaged or on a database that is damaged on a page that does not contain data (may contain only white space), the repair count is not incremented. The Repair Count=0 output indicates that no repairs have been made to the database, even if Eseutil /p has been run.
