Checking Database Integrity

The integrity option searches the database for damaged or unreadable records and displays the results. It verifies the integrity of the database but does not repair any errors it finds.

    To Check Database Integrity

  1. Stop the directory using the Services application in Control Panel.
  2. At the command prompt, type eseutil /g followed by a database switch.

    For example, the following command runs a consistency check on the server's public information store: 

    C:\EXCHSRVR\BIN> eseutil/g /ispub
Database switch Description
/ds Directory
/ispriv Private information store
/ispub Public information store
