SYMPTOMS
If you run the Exchange Server Move Server Wizard on an Exchange Server version 5.5 Service Pack 3 computer to which a Store.exe fix version 5.5.2651.32 or later has been applied, the following error message may be displayed when the wizard tries to upgrade the private information store database:

Microsoft Exchange Move Server Wizard

An unexpected error has occurred while updating the Microsoft Exchange

Private Information Store

ID no: c1070451





CAUSE
This error message can occur if you upgrade the database by using a Store.exe program version 5.5.2651.32 or later. Earlier versions of the Move Server Wizard cannot process the extra data in the information store.

If the Store.exe program is version 5.5.2651.32 or later, and the Mvstore.dll file is not version 5.5.2651.73 or later, the Move Server Wizard stops responding.



RESOLUTION
If the error message in the "Symptoms" section of this article is displayed, you must install the latest information store fix after you restore the system from a tape backup and before you run the Move Server Wizard again.

A supported fix is now available from Microsoft, but it is only intended to correct the problem that is described in this article. Apply it only to computers that are experiencing this specific problem. This fix may receive additional testing. Therefore, if you are not severely affected by this problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Exchange Server version 5.5 service pack that contains this hotfix.

The typical support costs will apply to additional support questions and issues that do not qualify for the specific update in question.

The English version of this fix should have the following file attributes or later:

NOTE: When you start this version of the information store, the information store databases are automatically upgraded to a new format. After you upgrade the databases, you can restore an earlier version of the Store.exe file on the server, but only if it is version 5.5.2651.32 or later. If you restore a Store.exe file earlier than version 5.5.2651.32 after you upgrade the database, you are no longer able to start the information store.
