RE: Error 1018
What you're seeing here is known as a hard fault. Basically, Ex 5.5 SP2 saw the introduction of the retry logic - ESE will attempt to read the data 16 times before deducing that you've a hard fault, e.g. the data on the disk is wrong. Do what has already been mentioned on this list - move the mailboxes to another server and then sort out the hardware problem. Do not pass go until you've done this!

RE: Error 1018
-1018 errors are not always easy to figure out either. There is a KB article or two on troubleshooting them. You seem to have the backing for a good server. Look at drive configuration.

RE: Error 1018
We had this recently (started after a hardware change), and did exactly what you sound as if you're planning on doing: added second server to site, moved mailboxes, PFs, connectors etc. Removed original server (see relevant Q article that I can't remember the no. of at the mo. am just off home so too lazy to check!), let hardware support co. sort problem on original server. Added repaired originalserver back (actually it wasn't, it was a new server they gave us 'cos they couldn't find a problem with the other!), moved everything back, removed our spare server from the site as before. Worked fine: no data loss, minimal user disruption - excellent!

Sometimes event id's have more than one problem associated with them. -Original Message- From: Jamie Domingue [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 18, 2002 11:51 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Error 1018 While checking the event logs on the Exchange server I found several 1018 errors. I have convinced management to get another server here so I can move all of our mailboxes to it. This will allow extensive testing of the problematic server. I understand that this is likely caused by a hardware problem but I would like any advice any of you may have on this problem.
