Hello,

Exch 5.5 SP4 problem.

After a tape drive failure forced us to bring down the server, we
brought down the server one night and replaced the drive.  since the
priv IS was already close to 20GB's which was the full size of a tape,
i decided to defrag the drive so that the IS would fit compactly onto
one tape.

unfortunately near the very end of the defrag, while eseutil was
checking for consistency, a chassis fan died and the compaq agent
decided to shutdown the server to prevent overheating.

the server came up and the IS mounted, but searching for e.mails no
longer works.  this weekend, i attempted to run:

isinteg -pri -fix -verbose -test alltests

but was met w/ this error message after just a few seconds:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i then attempted to run all the tests by hand, which seemed to work
but after mounting the IS, the same search problem still exists.

is the next step to run eseutil /p?  i am hesitant to run this command
since it seems like it's only for emergencies and because this page:

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=259851

indicates that the same isinteg alltests command has to be performed
which i'm worried might not happen after the hard repair.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

joon yoo
