SYMPTOMS
When you run Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5, Edbutil produces errors even if the database is Consistent.
Rather than receiving specific errors in Exchange 2000, if you attempt to run Edbutil against an Exchange 2000 server, you receive the following message:
EDBUTIL has been replaced with the tool ESEUTIL.EXE. ESEUTIL.EXE can be found in the exchsrvr\bin folder.
MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5 uses JET97. As a result, Edbutil will no longer work against the Dir.edb, Priv.edb, and Pub .edb databases. If you attempt to run the command
edbutil /mh
against the Dir.edb, Priv.edb, or Pub .edb databases, you receive an error -1206. If you attempt to run the command
edbutil /d /r
you receive an error -1022.
Eseutil should be run against a JET97 database. You can run the command for switch options:
eseutil /?
For more information, you can refer to the Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5 documentation, or see the following Knowledge Base article:
