OK, I need to pick your collective brains. I'm trying to restore an offline
priv.edb on Exchange 5.5. I followed the process in KB article 183266
[url]http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;183266&Product=ech[/url] .
The problem comes when I attempt to run isinteg -patch. I get
Jet_errColumnNotFound. The Database is coming back as consistent, but I
still can't open the information store. Jet_errColumnNotFound has revealed
nothing.

Standard Trouble shooting taken care of.Names are the same, Service Packed.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

-Hal

Do the services start ?

Could it be that DB is damaged in your offline backup?
Have you tried to run ISINTEG and ESEUTIL against it?

Eseutil /mh tells be the db is consistent. Isinteg -pri -test alltests
fails with Jet_errColumnNotFound.

I really need to get this back if possilble.

Not so much. Exchange Directory Starts, MTA Starts, and the System
Attendant starts. Nothing else, notably the Information Store.

Also, when I try to start the Information Store manually, I get Event ID
1087, which says to run Isinteg -patch. And so the circle of down database
continues....

Do you have another copy of the DB?

If at some point you run the -patch with the wrong reg keys you have to go
back to a copy of the DB before doing that.

Make sure to verify the Org and Site from the database.

find /i "Recipients" priv.edb

When you see the ones with mixed upper and lower case then CTRL+C as that is
the right name.
