Q152946: XADM: Exchange Store Stops Due to Data Corruption

Article: Q152946
Product(s): Microsoft Exchange
Version(s): winnt:4.0
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): kbnetwork exc4
Last Modified: 21-JUL-1999

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Exchange Server, version 4.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

The Microsoft Exchange Information Store Service may terminate unexpectedly. The
Drwtsn32.log may show a failure of Store.exe with an entry similar to the
following:

  App: store.DBG (pid=248)
  When: 8/2/1996 @ 12:33:11.437
  Exception number: c0000005 (access violation)

CAUSE
=====

Data corruption of the Information Store causes an inconsistency, which in turn
causes a client request to make the server stop functioning.

WORKAROUND
==========

Run Isinteg.exe. This should fix the Information Store corruption, preventing
the failure.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server
version 4.0. This problem was corrected in Service Pack 3 of Microsoft Exchange
4.0. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word
in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
