Is your Microsoft Exchange Server's Information Store damaged and does not start? Are you unable to retrieve information from EDB (Exchange Server Database) file? The information store corruption is due to numerous reasons, such as improper system shutdown, faulty hardware, virus infection, or application malfunction. In such situations, you need to opt for
Exchange Server Recovery to access your database.
To recover Microsoft Windows Store that doesn't start, use the below methods:
1. Check Application Event Log of Windows NT Event Viewer for MSExchangePub, MSExchangePriv, EDB, and MSExchangeIS messages. The messages may provide you information about actual cause of the problem.
2. Shut down all the MS exchange Server services, and then restart Exchange Server. When information store service restarts, it attempts to recover automatically and return database to consistent state.
3. Create an absolute backup of Microsoft Exchange Server Information Store. It must include all the EDB and Log files.
4. Restore database from last complete online backup. Make sure that you don't click to choose 'Start Service after Restore' option. Restore incremental backups of Information Store. Only click selecting 'Start Service after Restore' option while restoring current incremental backup. Do not select 'Erase all existing data' option.
5. If the above method can not help you start information store, check Event Log and review logged messages for EDB.
6. If the above method doesn't work, restore online backup of information store. Select 'Start Service after Restore' and 'Erase all existing data' options.
7. Remove all the Log and EDB files from Mdbdata folder and then restore copies of Pub.edb and Priv.edb databases from backup.
8. If none of the above methods work, you need to wipe the information store as last resort.
