ISINTEG Not Working - Windows 2008 SBS with Exchange 2007 RRS feed

    An application log error indicates a corruption problem with a client's email.  Research on the corruption recommends that isinteg be used to resolved the corruption.  I have entered isinteg into a command prompt in about as many different formats as I can possibly think of and the same thing happens each time.  The help screen pops up instead, which indicates I entered the command and switches wrong.  Here are a couple of the formats I have attempted.

    isinteg -s perma -test alltests -fix

    isinteg -s perma -fix -test alltests

    isinteg -fix

    And a few other variations not shown.  Any entry I make at the command prompt gets the help screen.  I only want to check one of four databases, so I dismounted that database.  Then I dismounted all of them.  Then I stopped the store service.  Each attempt results in the same outcome.  I'm logged in as the enterprise administrator, so it should not be a rights issue.

    If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears.  I need to check the database as soon as possible.  This is Exchange 2007 with all the latest service packs and updates.

    The first of your examples looks fine to me. I assume "perma" in this example is the name of your exchange server? You have checked that if you ping perma locally from that server that it resolves to the local machine I assume?

    Hi Tony,

    In general, we will use the following steps to run isinteg:

    • Dismount the database

                    Note: please schedule an non-business time to dismount the database.

    • Go to Command Prompt and      repair Exchange server database using the following command.

                             Isinteg -s "Exchange server name of database cfni-sg18-mdb1" -fix -test alltest

    The result will be like it as below:

    Please try above command and see if it si working. If not,please get a screen shot of it.

    Thank you for  your replies.  Yes the server name is perma.  Silver, my command screen looks like yours with the format I use.  As mentioned before, the database is dismounted before the command is executed.  Unfortunately, all I get back is the help screen.

    I will have to wait until this evening to take the database offline at which time I will get a screen shot of the command format I am using.

    I ran the ISINTEG utility in several formats and even did a nslookup to ensure the name was resolved.  All commands executed are highlighted.  As you can see, everyone failed.  Very frustrating.

    By the way, in my initial post I intentionally shorted the server name.

    Okay, I will change the location tonight and try again.  The information I got from other posts was the command could be run from anywhere and that seemed to be supported by your screen shot from an earlier post.  However, it makes sense to be in the folder with the databases.

    After testing in my lab,  I find the command can run successfully in the location where the databases resides. We can try. If it is still not working, you can let me know, I will do more tests for you.
