Try "resetimc.exe". It blows away any corrupted messages caught in the info store.

I have a corrupt message which is causing a failed status on my backups each evening. Usually I just have the user delete the corrupted message and life goes on. I'd like to get to the bottom of what corrupts a message and how I can recover it from its corrupted state. I will read the articles below but I notice you said they were about the IMC. Restate: How can I repair a corrupted message in the IS? -----Original Message----- From: Lefkovics, William [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 10, 2001 9:13 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Information store keeps stopping with error Probably a malformed message. How did you remove it before? Did you toast the queue.dat as well? Consider following the steps for removing a corrupt message from the imcdata queue: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q293/2/88.ASP http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;FR;q169223 http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q232/2/79.ASP Then look at applying sp4 :o) William -----Original Message----- From: John Stevens To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Sent: 12/10/01 5:45 AM Subject: Re: Information store keeps stopping with error I have looked back in the event viewer and here is the following. When we try to start the information store after about 5 minutes it appears with the Dr watsons error event ID 4097 and then just switches between event ID 4182 & 3039 Event ID - 4097, Source - Dr Watson, Type - Information, Cat - None The application, exe\store.dbg, generated an application error The error occurred on 12/ 9/2001 @ 19:53:29.687 The exception generated was c0000005 at address 77f65141 (RtlFreeHeap) Event ID - 4182, Source - MSExchange IMC, Type - Error, Cat - Internal Processing An error was returned from the messaging software the Internet Mail Service uses to process messages on the Microsoft Exchange Server.

It is possible that the piece of mail being processed at the time will be returned to the sender as a failed delivery instead of being delivered. The message will be moved to the "BAD" folder, if possible, and the error is not a temporary error. Otherwise it will be retried when the service is restarted. Use the appropriate utilities found in the SUPPORT directory of your Exchange CD to view and manipulate messages that have been moved to the "BAD" folder Event ID - 4094, Source - MSExchange IMC, Type - Error, Cat - Internal Processing The error 0x8004011d occurred while trying to refresh network connections to the Information Store.
