SUMMARY
When you use the eseutil /mk command to dump the contents of the Exx.chk checkpoint file, the first parameter returned in the Checkpoint field represents the next log file to be committed (referred to as log position, or LGPOS). In Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5, this value is returned as a decimal value, and must be manually converted to hexadecimal format (to identify the currently committed log file).

However, in Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server, this value is returned in hexadecimal format, so no further conversion is required to identify the currently committed log file.



MORE INFORMATION
In this example, the first value in the Checkpoint field is 0x81. This indicates that the Exx00081.log file is the currently committed log file (where xx represents the unique value assigned to an individual Storage Group).
