Eseutil /M File Dump Mode

  • Artikel

 

While the Eseutil file dump mode is often overlooked by administrators, it is an invaluable troubleshooting and diagnostic tool. This mode does not repair or make other changes to files. Its purpose is to provide you with information about the state of the database files. For example, 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

In file dump mode, you can:

  • View header information for the database, streaming database, checkpoint and transaction log files.

  • View header information for individual database pages.

  • Validate that a series of transaction log files forms a matched set and that all files are undamaged.

  • View space allocation inside the database and streaming database files.

  • View metadata for all tables or for a specific table in the database file.

For more information about syntax and about running Eseutil /M in different scenarios, see How to Run Eseutil /M in File Dump Mode.

The following table provides details of switches used to view headers of different types of database files:
