SYMPTOMS
The Scanpst.exe utility of Microsoft Exchange Client fails to detect and fix a file truncation corruption where the only blocks in the truncation were orphans. This leaves the PST file as unusable because the PST provider will not connect to a PST file with this type of corruption.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft Exchange clients, version 4.0, listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0 U.S. Service Pack 4. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
