Silly question, but did you reapply service packs for the OS, Exchange, and Proxy on the parallel install to bring them to the same level as the original? Several service packs have contained updates/fixes for the JET database engine.

Subject: Service specific error 4294966782 From: "Noel Walsh" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sun, 21 Oct 2001 09:57:36 -0400 X-Message-Number: 3 After backing up from a tape due to a fault with Proxy server 2.0 which also runs on our Exchange server(I know), I had to do a parallel install of NT to get the machine to boot. This got me up and running again but I had multiple problems and am still trying to undo a few of them. The fact that the tape was quite old( I don't know I've only just got this job) meant that NETLOGON wouldn't run. I solved that one and another WINS error but after getting the MTA and DS services running, the Information store service will not start. A "service specific error 4294966782". This appears to be a database problem which can only be fixed by third party tools. Can any of you shed any light on this situation as I've come to a bit of a dead end in my troubleshooting.
