SYMPTOMS
Edbutil /d /t fails with the following error:

Operation terminated with error -1811 ...



CAUSE
The /t option is specified incorrectly.

The following command line will fail with -1811:

Edbutil /d /ispriv /th:\

The following scenario will also fail with -1811:

Map Drive Letter to H:\ to \shared directory

Edbutil /d /ispriv /th:\shared\tempdfrg.edb

Because the H:\ drive is already mapped to the shared directory, the above command fails when it does not find a "sub-directory" called "shared" to put the Tempdfrg.edb file into.



WORKAROUND
The correct command line using Edbutil or Eseutil /d with the /t option is as follows:

Edbutil /d  /t :\tempfilename

-or-

Eseutil /d  /t :\tempfilename

Example:

  Edbutil /d /ispriv /th:\tempdfrg.edb



MORE INFORMATION
Error -1811 refers to JET_errFileNotFound 4294965485.

EDBUTIL should be used with Exchange Server versions 4.0 and 5.0.

ESEUTIL should be used with Exchange Server version 5.5.
