ISINTEG and EDBUTIL Tools Fails to Work On Corrupted Information Store

Are you facing Exchange Server Information Store corruption and unable to access the database? Do the ISINTEG and EDBUTIL processes fail to complete their operations on damaged Information Store? The Information Store corruption is a critical situation that renders your valuable EDB (Exchange Database) file inaccessible. It leads to severe data loss situations. You need to restore the database in such situations from an updated backup. However, if the backup is not current, you need to opt for Exchange Server Recovery to get your mission critical data back.

In a practical scenario, you may come across the below symptoms when the Exchange Server Information Store gets damaged:

1. Currently logged on Exchange Server users identify that their systems stop responding.
2. The utilization percentage of the Information Store becomes very high (for instance, 70%).
3. When you apply the ISINTEG (Information Store Integrity Checker) tool on damaged Information Store, the process stops responding halfway. The tool fails to check the integrity of Exchange Server.
4. When you apply the EDBUTIL utility, which repairs the Exchange Server database, this process also stops responding midway and may show which database table is causing the problem.

In this scenario, entire EDB database become inaccessible. In order to gain access of the database, you need to find out the actual cause of this behavior and perform Microsoft Exchange Recovery by sorting it out.

Grounds of the problem:

You may face this issue if internal pages of Exchange Server database table are damaged. The corruption can be caused by various reasons, like application malfunction and virus infection.

Resolution:

To sort out this problem, you need to restore the database from current backup. Go through the below steps to restore EDB database:

1. Click Start button, and go to Programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> Backup.
2. Click Restore tab.
3. Select the objects from the file that you need to restore.
4. In Restore files to dialog box, select option that you wish.
5. Click Start Restore button.

If the backup is not available, you are required to go for third-party Exchange Recovery Software to extract inaccessible data from the database. They enable you to methodically scan entire database and recover all data from the database. The Exchange Recovery Tool does not demand sound and prior technical skills as they have interactive graphical user interface.

Microsoft Exchange Recovery Software is the most advanced exchange database recovery utility that successfully handles all types of Exchange Server database scenarios. The software is designed for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, 2003, 2000, and 5.5. It recovers all EDB file objects, such as emails, contacts, notes, attachments, appointments, journal, and calendar items.
