Repair Exchange Priv1/Pub1.edb

[gertgoossens]

I am trying to repair my Exchange database store. Knowledge base from Microsoft (artical 317014) give Eseutil Command Line Switches. I try to use them but keep getting error below. Where am I going wrong?

Try wrapping the file path in double quotes.

E.g.: "D:\Mail EX\MDBDDATA\priv1.edb"

That error means it can't find the .edb file in the path you've entered
Copy and paste the path to the file from windows explorer and don't forget to add the "" in.
But if the problem is not solved, then try to restore database from backup, if it is with you. But if you don't have it then try to use recovery tool for example as EDB Repair Kit. May be able to recover it.
