Subject: [ActiveDir] OMG, the most aweful ESE event info ever!!! ...
In the event view, you know how you can click the "fwlink" page to get
help and support text for any given event?
So I found the "support and help" text (below) for EventID 101 (farther
below) for Windows NTDS ISAM and for general ESENT, and it's like about
as close to 100% wrong as you can get. It's talking about Restore.env,
and the Information Store, Windows now thinks it's Exchange? Was it
just like make stuff up day at work or something? WTF. Does the
internet / network produce ANY valid content anymore? I think the new
quote should be, "It must be false, I read it on the internet".
Anyway, I've gotten a hold of the people responsible for this database,
we're having words ... I'll fix this.
OMG, I just found the text for Event ID 102 "%1 (%2) %3The database
engine started a new instance(%4)." ... and it's help text is worse than
event ID 101's text. Event ID 102's help text:
There is only one Jet database engine, ESE.dll, per
server. However, there can be one instance of Jet running per
storage group. Event 102 signifies that an instance of Jet has
started and indicates which instance has started.
And oh my gosh I just thought someone could be trying to act on this
text on like an Exchange or SBS servers ... I'm nateous, I'm actually
wretching over this find ...
SOOO Why don't you guys tell us about this shtuff? Seriously. You guys
should hold your vendors in to higher responsibility. Comments anyone?
joe, surely you must have a comment? Tragically, I'll bet it is a
waste, I'll bet no one uses the system anymore.
I give uou permission to email me about any ESE event text and fwlinks
that suck, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Only
email that mail, about this stuff. Well, give me a week or two to take
out the trash on the fwlinks. BTW, I can't promise a reply or speedy
fixes, or anything.
Oh in case it isn't clear the ESE events are under, ESE (for Exchange,
SPS, Windows Desktop Search), ESENT (for General Windows), and for
Active Directory the events are categorized under "NTDS ISAM".
This is going to be a great Friday, i can just tell ...

Details
Product: Windows Operating System
ID: 101
Source: ESENT
Version: 5.2
Symbolic Name: STOP_ID
Message: %1 (%2) %3The database engine stopped.
Explanation
The extensible storage engine database engine stopped.

that are out of sequence with the log that is mentioned in the
Restore.env file.
- A database could not be loaded. The directory where the database or
logs exist might not have the correct permissions assigned to it in
order to load the store.
- An information store was unloaded.
- There might be file-level virus-scanning software running against the
log file directory.
