As soon as your OST file is synchronized with the Exchange server, you can easily access all the work done offline when you were not connected to the server. In the synchronization process, the Exchange mailbox is updated with all the changes that are made to the offline folder file. But synchronization may not always work correctly due to incorrect profile settings or corruption of the OST file. In such cases, the data present in the server folders does not match with the data in the offline folder file. To regain access to your valuable OST file data, you can try to perform OST To PST conversion using a reliable third-party utility.

Consider a real time situation. Suppose some of your friends decide to use cached Exchange mode due to a network connectivity problem. They come across the below mentioned problems while using the cached Exchange mode:

• MS Exchange Server computer crashes.
  
• Unusable OST file is connected to a new domain.
  
• Synchronization of Outlook OST file fails.
  

Cause:

The problem occurs while connecting the Outlook OST file to the new mailbox. This happens because the items like mailbox content, Outlook OST file, and MAPI (Messaging Application Programming Interface) profile of new and original servers must be same. The reason responsible for a failed synchronization is the alteration done in any of the above mentioned items.

Solution:

For resolving the above issue, try the below given suggestions:

• Create a new PST file and import data of the orphaned OST file into this file. In this way, the data can be easily accessed. You should follow this suggestion, if configuration of original MAPI profile of Exchange Server has been done.
  
• The best and reliable way to fix the above stated problem is to convert OST to PST. This can be easily done with the help of an effective third party OST to PST converter tool.
  

With the help of these tools, you can regain access to an orphaned or inaccessible Outlook OST file.

Damage in an Exchange Server generally occurs at three levels, i.e. ‘Page level’, ‘Database level’, and ‘Application level’. Page level problems are surfaced as a result of hardware, driver, or firmware issues. These problems may also trigger problems at the higher levels. However, database level and application level damage occurs primarily due to problems in the Exchange code or other third-party programs. All these problems may lead to logical corruption of the Exchange server databases. As a consequence, all your precious information present in the database becomes inaccessible. To overcome this problem, you need to go for Exchange recovery through a reliable third-party utility.

For a better understanding of above issue, let us study a particular case of Exchange server database corruption. While using your Exchange Server 2000 or Exchange Server 2003 computer, you may receive the following error message on your screen:

''1067 The information store terminated abnormally.''

Moreover, Event ID 447 is observed in the application log of Windows Event Viewer.

Ground of the problem:

Above error may be caused due to a hardware failure or due to scanning of database file directory by an antivirus program. From the details of Event ID, it is clear that the logical structure of the database has become corrupt or damaged. The possible reason responsible for this corruption include replaying invalid log files at the time of restoration of the database. Other reasons could be a defective hard disk controller or transactions were not successfully committed to the hard disk before the server stopped responding.

Resolution:

This problem can be easily resolved with the help of an online backup. In case the backup is unavailable, you can try to perform a hard repair using the ‘eseutil.exe/p’ command. After completing the hard repair, perform an offline defragmentation of the database by running the ‘eseutil/d’ command and then, execute the ‘Isinteg-fix’ command.

If the problem still persists, then it indicates that the database is severally corrupt or damaged. In such circumstances, you can try out Exchange Server Recovery with the help of a third party tool. Such tools help you safely recover all valuable user mailboxes in the Exchange server database file.

Using a professional third-party tool is a good approach to easily repair damaged Exchange server EDB files and restore various mailbox items, such as emails, contacts, appointments, etc. It is suggested to use a tool of a reputed company, because it would recover the data much faster than any other methods.

It has been frequently observed that Outlook starts giving peculiar error messages after the corruption of your personal storage table (PST) file. The PST file may become damaged due to logical corruption as a result of a virus infection or any software error. In addition, when this file crosses the predefined size limit of 2 GB in MS Outlook 2002 and earlier versions, it becomes susceptible to corruption. As a consequence, all your valuable items in the PST file may become inaccessible. You can use the Inbox repair tool to fix the issue of logical corruption. If the tool fails to repair corruption, you should go for PST file recovery through a reliable third-party utility.

Consider a real time scenario. Suppose you attempt to forward a message in Outlook 2000 SR-1, but fail to do so. Additionally, you receive the below given error on your screen:

''The messaging interface has returned an unknown error. If the problem persists, restart Outlook.''

Cause:

The above error is caused if any one of the below conditions are true:

• - You have set an Outlook PST file as your default delivery location or you are forwarding the message using an OST file.
  

• - The forwarded message is in Rich Text format (RTF) and contains an attachment.
  
• - You have waited for three minutes or have clicked 'Save' on the 'File' menu to save the message in the 'Drafts' folder.
  
• - The message has been modified after being saved in the 'Drafts' folder.
  
• - It could be possible that the Outlook PST file is corrupt.

Are you facing a problem while mounting a mailbox or public store database? The most probable reason for such kind of behavior is the corruption of your Exchange Server database. Exchange database corruption may occur due to myriad factors, such as virus infection, abnormal system shutdown, hardware problems, abrupt closing of the server, etc. This might cause a critical situation of data loss. To avoid the risk of a potential data loss, you may use the built-in Exchange utility 'Exeutil' that helps you resolve most of the corruption issues and ensure the health of your Exchange Information store. However, if you continue to face problems, you should go for Exchange recovery through a reliable third-party tool.

Let's consider a practical scenario. Suppose you use MS Exchange 2000 Server. When you attempt to mount a mailbox store or public store, you may encounter the below given error on your screen:

''The database files in this storage are inconsistent
Id no: c1041739.''

Grounds of the Problem:

The above error occurs because of corruption in your mailbox store database or public store database.

Solution:

For resolving this error, you need to use MS Exchange Server database utility called 'Eseutil.exe' to verify the state of the problematic database. Then, try to restore or repair your database using a suitable method. After the completion of the process, you will be able to mount your database.
Follow the below steps to confirm the database state:

1. First, start the command prompt.
   
2. Switch to the Drive:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\Bin folder.
   
3. Run the following command:
   

eseutil /mh "drive:\program files\exchsrvr\mdbdata\database_name.edb"

1. Check the output to examine the database state. The following text in the output indicates that the database is inconsistent:
   

State: Dirty Shutdown

If your database is inconsistent, then try to restore the database using an updated backup. However, if the backup is unavailable, then try to use the 'Eseutil' and 'Isinteg' utility to repair the database. In case you are still facing issues while mounting the database, then opt for a competent third-party Exchange Server Recovery tool.

With the help of such tools, you can easily resolve most cases of severe database corruption. These tools can effectively recover all your precious mail items objects, such as email messages, contacts, attachments, appointments, journal, tasks, schedules, etc. They are easy-to-use software having rich graphical user interface to make the recovery process easy and less time-consuming. 

MS Access database consists of various database objects including tables, forms, queries, macros, reports etc. Microsoft Access employs Jet engine as its default database engine. MS Visual Basic programming system is used for implementing several data management functions in an Access database. So, it is required to load all the Visual Basic components for a proper working of Access database. Some problems may occur while opening or closing database files, running queries, updating table records etc. This generally happens due to Access database corruption. Some situations like interruption during a read/write operation, multi-user access, power outages may leave the Access database in suspect state. As a consequence, all the vital information stored in the database becomes inaccessible. To overcome this problem, you need to go for Access repair through a reliable third-party utility.

For example, you suddenly lose the network connection while trying to compact and repair your Access database. Now, when you attempt to open the database file in MS Access or Visual Basic, you may receive the following error message on your screen.

"The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time."

Cause

The Access database (or MDB) file is corrupt. The corruption occurred because multiple users tried to modify data in the database at the same time. Other reasons for Access database corruption include poor database structuring, improper system shutdown, file header damage etc.

All these reasons would prevent you from accessing the precious data stored in the MS Access file. You may use a backup to restore and regain access to the lost data. However, if the backup is missing, you can repair Access file by following the below mentioned resolution steps.

Resolution

Try these steps to fix the above problem:

• Use 'Get External Data' option in the 'File' menu for importing all the usable components of damaged Access database to a new Access database file.
• If the problem still persists, you should take help of an efficient Access database repair software.

These software repair corrupt MS Access databases using extremely safe repair mechanisms. They list the scan output in a tree view structure and allow users to preview all the recoverable database objects before actual recovery after that starts access database recovery process. 

As the business data continues to grow exponentially, so is the size of your Outlook PST file. You may receive hundreds of mails in a day that could make your Inbox folder practically bloating or bulging. Every MS Outlook version has a predefined size limit for the PST file. If your PST file crosses this limit, it becomes susceptible to corruption and starts showing erratic or abnormal behavior. In the worst case, all the mailbox data may become completely inaccessible. To sort out the issue, you can split your PST file into various smaller slices using a third-party PST file splitter.

To understand the above issue clearly, consider a practical example. Suppose you use a Windows Vista-based computer. When you attempt to transfer an item from one folder to the other in your Outlook PST file, you may receive the given error on your screen:

"Cannot Move the Items. The Folder is full."

Reason for the occurrence of above error message:

The error message that is listed above pops up when your Outlook PST file crosses or exceeds the maximum size limit of 2 GB. Only because of this limitation, items of one folder cannot be transferred to the other folder.

Tips to solve the above error message:

Splitting the PST file into various small-sized PSTs can resolve the issue. You can also follow some measures to overcome the problem of oversized PST file:

• Remove all the unwanted Outlook items. After deleting unwanted emails, empty the 'Deleted Items' folder and compact it. Compaction will help you to remove the left or unused space in the PST file.
  
• Create a new Outlook PST file and import some data from the old PST file to this new one.
  
• The easiest solution is to use a third-party PST file splitter tool.
  

All these software are safe and risk-free. You do not require any technical skills or prior experience to operate such tools. Through simple commands like select, scan and drag, you can use these software with much ease. Moreover, performing the splitting process through such software is not a time consuming or lengthy process.

Outlook PST File Splitter is an advanced tool that can safely split large PST files into smaller ones according to the specified split criteria. The tool is able to split both single and multiple files on the basis of email id, time, date, folders & size. The Demo version of the software can be downloaded directly from the company's website.

The erratic or abrupt behavior of your Outlook PST file may put you in a big jeopardous situation. You may not be able to access certain folders in your PST file or even the Outlook application may crash displaying a series of errors on your screen. In order to come to a solution, you must first try to unveil the root cause behind this problem. A PST file usually gets corrupt due to hardware malfunction, software errors, virus infection, etc. Additionally, if your PST file reaches or exceeds the size limit as defined by its parent MS Outlook version, it becomes vulnerable to corruption. In such situations, all the valuable PST file components become inaccessible. To overcome this problem, you need to go for PST file recovery through a reliable third-party tool.

For a clear understanding of the above issue, let's consider a practical scenario. Suppose you attempt to open MS Outlook 2007 in your Windows Vista-based computer and receive the following error message on your screen:

''FileName.pst file could not be opened. The file may not be compatible with this version of Outlook or it may be corrupted.''

Cause:

The above error is caused when all the below mentioned conditions hold true:

• *  You backed up your mail file using the Backup Status and Configuration program.
  
• *  You restored your mail file from a recently created backup using the Backup Status and Configuration program.
  
• *  The mail file is present in an encrypted folder.
