Solution/Workaround/Procedure
The Exchange eseutil command can be used to check the consistency of logs of database:
Example; 'eseutil.exe /k '.
For example if logs of database with prefix E01 are located at c:\logs, then the command to be used is 'eseutil.exe /k "c:\logs\E01"'
Outcome;
The result within eseutil is;
Found Error: Access to source database 'z:\Exchange Server\V14\Mailbox\Public
Folders\E03' failed with Jet error -1811.
Missing log files: z:\Exchange Server\V14\Mailbox\Public Folders\E03{0000232B - 00002468}.log
Missing log files: z:\Exchange Server\V14\Mailbox\Public Folders\E03{000024A7 - 00002727}.log

ERROR: Missing log file(s). Log file is generation 256737 (0x3EAE1), but expected generation is 256735 (0x3EADF).
Operation terminated with error -528 (JET_errMissingLogFile, Current log file missing) after 27333.109 seconds.
Solution;
The problem is with the database/logs itself. The customer needs to approach Microsoft for this Exchange Database issue. The Netvault Exchange Server plugin merely uses eseutil.exe for checking consistency.
