Event Type: Error
Event Source: MSExchangeIS
Event Category: General
Event ID: 9519
Description:
Error 0xfffffde0 starting database "[GUID of database]" on the Microsoft
Exchange Information Store.

CAUSE
The Last Backup Set check box was not selected during the restore, so hard recovery was not run.
RESOLUTION
Before the database can be mounted, hard recovery must be completed. You can run hard recovery manually with the following command:
eseutil /cc [path to directory containing Restore.env]
For example, if the path specified for the "Temporary location for log and patch files" during the restore process is C:\TempRest, the command to run hard recovery is:
eseutil /cc c:\temprest
Note You need to run eseutil.exe from the Exchsrvr\Bin directory.
After hard recovery completes, mount the database using the Exchange System Manager.
MORE INFORMATION
To avoid this issue, select the Last Backup Set check box during the restore process.
