MS Exchange Server is one of the two sides of the client-server application. It is extensively used in numerous organizations to successfully carry out corporate communications. Also, it is now accessible in both mobile- and Web-based browsers. The information of the each of the user is stored in an EDB (Exchange Database) file. In due course of time, the EDB file can get corrupt due to various reasons such as abrupt system shutdown, file system corruption, database header corruption, etc. In such cases, you should try to repair the Exchange Server. If you are not able to perform Exchange repair, then you should use an MS Exchange repair software to do the needful for you.

Consider a scenario wherein you are using MS Exchange Server 2007 Management Pack for Operations Manager, which is used to monitor the MS Windows Application Event logs. While working on the Transport database, you encounter the following error message:

“A Transport database operation has encountered a fatal error. The database may be corrupted. The Microsoft Exchange Transport service is shutting down. Manual database recovery or repair may be required.”

After the above error, Microsoft Server does not let you access your database. At this point, you have to verify the cause of this problem and perform Exchange repair by resolving it.

Cause:
The root cause of this erroneous situation is that the specified database in the error message is damaged, which is causing the MS Exchange database services to mount it.

Resolution:

To resolve this problem, you should perform either of the following methods:

1. Delete the database: You should delete the database in question along with the respective transaction logs. After the deletion, a new copy of the database with the transaction logs will be created automatically. However, you would not get the previous data in this case.

2. Repair the database: You should try to repair the database using the Eseutil /P utility on the corrupted database. After the database repair, restart the MS Exchange Transport service to ascertain whether the error has been resolved or not.

However, if the problem is still not resolved then you should use a third-party Exchange Server repair software to do the needful for you. Such Exchange repair tools are read-only in nature that possess fast yet sophisticated scanning algorithms to extract the EDB files in the form of distinct PST files.
