SYMPTOMS
When you run eseutil /d / /t :\eseutil, you get the following error message:

Operation terminated with error -1201 (JET_errDatabaseDuplicate, Database already exists).



CAUSE
A folder called Eseutil already exists on the drive that is listed after the /t switch.

NOTE: The folder can be called anything; the real problem is that Eseutil is trying to create a file named the same as the folder that is already there.



WORKAROUND
 Remove the folder from the drive. -or-

 Add any extension to the folder name. -or-

 Specify another name for the location of the temporary folder. For example,

eseutil /d / /t :\





MORE INFORMATION
Normally, the -1201 JET_errDatabaseDuplicate error indicates corruption in the database, but in this situation, the error will occur on a non-corrupted database.
