SUMMARY
In Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server, an information store database is comprised of two separate database files: an .edb file and an .stm file. To run repair (eseutil /p) against an Exchange 2000 .edb file, you must specify the corresponding .stm file. The syntax is as follows:

"eseutil /p .edb_file_name /s.stm_file_name" NOTE: Do not put a space between the /s and the .stm file name.

For example: c:\exchsrvr\mdbdata>eseutil /p priv1.edb /spriv1.stm
