I believe I've found a use for getting information from transaction files.
At least that's my thinking unless someone has a better way. One of my VPs had her e-mail being re-directed to another e-mail account offsite (so she can receive it on her Blackberry). We also had the e-mail being delivered here. Funny thing is, yesterday, she stopped receiving e-mails in her mailbox. I know we are looking at moving our users to the Blackberry Server, so I'm thinking what happened is that one of my guys took her off the redirect in Exchange, couldn't get her onto the Blackberry Server, then turned back on the redirect but didn't click on the box that says messages should be delivered to both places. By the time I came up with this, she was receiving e-mails in her mailbox again, which would mean, if my assumption is correct, that someone fixed the problem before I could verify it. So, what I have is a theory that I can't prove without transaction logs. Any other theories as to what may have happened? Perhapsd her mailbox suddenly became a blackhole and just as suddenly mysteriously fixed itself? Any thoughts would be appreciated, Charles -----Original Message----- From: McBee, Jim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2003 5:19 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Transaction log reports Charles: I have never seen a tool for mining information from the transaction logs. The information in those logs would be information that only a mother could love. Specifically, mother-ESE. The transaction logs contain pages of data that will be written to the EDB or EDB/STM files; these pages correspond to the message information, but they may not be in any useful order, at least to mere humans. If you want to see a little more on the log files, you can use the ESEUTIL /M option to dump some info about the logs. AFAIK, Microsoft does not publicly publish any useful information on the contents of the log files or the ESE database. You are certainly not a newbie to Exchange or this list, so I know this is not one of those "stupid" questions. Did you have a specific goal in mind with this information. Any help?

On second thoughts....you'd better not :) However, charles may be referring to tracking logs, not transaction logs.
