SUMMARY
=======

This article describes how to determine if your database has been repaired by
using the "Eseutil /p" command.

MORE INFORMATION

To see if your database has been repaired by using the "Eseutil /p" command,
dump the header using one of the following commands for the private information
store:

  ESEUTIL /mh x:\exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv.edb |more

  -or-

  ESEUTIL /mh x:\exchsrvr\mdbdata\pub.edb |more
