Online Restore Vulnerabilities in MS Exchange Server

The involved users can't deny from the crucial nature of the MS Exchange Severs as very critical information get exchanged via email among employees, customers and partners. So in this scenario, the loss of the data due to corruption reasons impedes the ability to communicate and results in loss of precious information and productive time.

So at this point of time, securing the data as backup is the key term for ensuring the continuity of the business. The online restore is the corresponding facility in support. You can have an online backup through advanced VSS API (Volume Shadow Service Application Program Interface) like services. This allows you to have the online backup. But problems may arise when after finishing the online restore of MS Exchange Server, the core data storage repository for Microsoft Exchange Server i.e. Microsoft Exchange Information Store service get failed to open and the following error message is received:

"Windows could not start the Microsoft Exchange Information Store on the Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft Service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code -939523531"

In this case the system attendant and directory service start without any problem. The specific error code may vary in different cases. This particularly happens due to incompletion of few log files.

For the resolution of the problem, Microsoft has suggested you to take the following three steps:

• Determine the information store log file location.

• Locate the following registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetServicesMSExchangeISRestoreInProgress

And determine which log files, displayed in the right pane, need to be complete to restore.

• Remove the unnecessary log files.

The second step involved in the solution procedure may create several other problems for the user which may require Exchange server recovery. The incorrect handling of the registry keys, being the most sensitive part, may generate few complications for the EDB files and they become corrupt.

In this case Exchange recovery can be carried out with the help of third party application particularly known as Exchange server recovery software.
