Hello, I am trying to check on the health of my databases by running eseutil commands.  I get the same error below using /mh, or /ml, or /mk

[PS] C:\eseutil /mh "c:\program files\microsoft\exchange server\v14\mailbox\Mailbox Database 0103719849\Mailbox Databas e 0103719849.edb"

Hi

This behavior occurs due to missing log files or corrupt backup file. In both the cases, Exchange Server cannot access the source database and you face this issue.

Please try the resolution on this link to see if it will work

You can try resolving this problem using Eseutil /p command line tool or by restoring the database again from backup. If possible, move unaffected files from problem database to new database.

If the above method does not work, you need to repair and restore corrupt Exchange Server database using advanced and powerful third-party applications, known as Exchange recovery software.
