Description:
A problem in an Exchange store database will prevent the database from being mounted after a restore.
Symptoms:
After attempting to restore an Exchange store.edb using the Exchange APM, the restore completes successfully however the store is un-mountable. A Windows event log error indicates:
'Information Store (7576) First Storage Group: Attempted to attach database '[path to database file]' but it is a database restored from a backup set on which hard recovery was not started or did not complete successfully.'
Also, subsequent attempts to restore the store fail, with the error "database not found".
Reason of problem/issue:
There is a corruption in the store that existed at the time of the backup. After the restore the database must be mounted, however, due to the corruption, the mount is unsuccessful.
To confirm this, run eseutil /mh to check the consistency of the public and private information stores. If this indicates that the store you restored is not consistent, you must run a hard repair operation against ONLY the databases that are inconsistent.
