GOexchange started and then suddenly quit with an error message stating, "The Databases on this system are Inconsistent, unable to continue maintenance." What happened?
One of your Microsoft Exchange stores is in an
inconsistent state. This means that the database did not shut down correctly and
that the transactions log files have not been committed to the
database or it could be an indication that the database is damaged in
some form. GOexchange stopped because it’s built in Exchange
intelligence makes sure that your databases are “intact” prior to any
type of maintenance takes place. An inconsistent database will
require the presence of the correct corresponding transaction logs to
start. So if you see this error when you attempt to run a GOexchange
maintenance, that means that;
1. The database had
previously crashed/seized up and had a serious error before GOexchange
was run. GOexchange checks the state of each store before it takes any
type of maintenance action and therefore this state existed prior to
the implementation or running of GOexchange.
2. It is also possible that when the store was
previously dismounted that the database did not dismount cleanly and
that some of the pending transactions in the logs may not have been
committed to the database file.
GOexchange is a maintenance tool and performs tasks on the Databases
much like a mechanic performs a tune up or an oil change on a car.
Therefore, if the Database is in an inconsistent state (much like a
car having a seized or broken engine) it cannot resolve these types of
problems. If GOexchange had been implemented earlier in the Exchange
Server life, the inconsistent issue may have been avoided.
If for
some reason you receive this message it is a VERY SERIOUS error and
must be looked at by a specialist. DO NOT under any circumstance
attempt to move forward without assistance
