Administrator. but still says Mailbox file corrupt.

what do i do now:

i did do a manual database cleanup on Veritas but i think i need to heal this mail box.

help!
thanks buds

 

How did you remove the emails? If you removed them by logging in to the mailbox as admin then deleting them...did you also remove them from the deleted folder?

If all else fails you can detach the mailbox from within exchange, then re-attach it to the admin account. make sure to purge the accounts beforehand.

 

hey sparky

i think i got wha tyou said; once i rebooted mail server and
deleted all and deleted emails from admin account
it cleared it up. themanual clean of veritas always is good
but have a feeling reboot plus clean of admin account fixed ths one.! and yes i was reading Veritas site and tehy said AV
has issues with veritas causing corruption. this fourm rocks


hey guys thanks so much for you help; i did print your recomendations
for later hard issues.

this is what i did

Veritas recommends these manual cleaning steps for their software
Veritas Backup

ERITAS MANUAL MAINT
does auto;but can fail
but can do it manuall
Veritas\BEutility
1. DB consist check
2. Age Database - cleans out
3. Dump database backup DB
finished.

i did this

cleaned out the admin folder and rebooted!

i do think only the reboot of mail server and cleaning out
the admin mailbox did the trick per veritas whitepapers
but the above manual clean is recommend oncein a while
when event view shows cleaning problems with DB

thanks this forum rocks!
