microsoft exchange edb file corrupted

[dstekno]

hi there,

i have edb file more than 100GB in size, and its corrupted.

I already try using Kernel and Enstella but its still said corrupted and result was nothing.
Anyone can help ? I heard Dr Kieves can do this ?

Are you trying to repair the db or extract data from it?

Do you have the log files? I don't believe that Kernel uses the logs, which almost always results in missing data anyway.

Where did you heard this ?

What happend with your file? Was it recovered with some soft ?
Why it is corrupted? Are you sure that this file has need data inside?

Might try the eseutil that come with the appropriate version of MS exchange server. Its a bit tricky, but that tool is pretty good at reassembling the db. Also might look at some "forensic" tools such as Paraben Network Email examiner that can read from a raw db file....

If using ESEUTIL, and there is no reason not to, as with anything else: Run it on a copy, not the original db. As with many Microsoft utilities the result can occasionally be worse than the original problem.
