After checking the disk space and all other obvious places do the following:
Copy all the original database and log files to somewhere safe.
Then also copy them into a working directory.
Eseutil will modify the files in situation so if it goes wrong you don't want your original files modified.
You need to have a copy of the database files (*.edb and *.stm) plus the transaction logs
(Exx*.log where xx is a number relating to the information store).
The location of the files is available from exchange system manager, but you really should know where they all are anyway.
From the database path run:
eseutil /mh databasename.edb
eseutil /p databasename.edb
eseutil /mh databasename.edb
Then move all the log files away from Exchange log folder:
x:\databasename\Logs\*.* to x:\Temp\databasename\Logs\*.*
Then mount the database:
Mount-Database mdb1 -Force
ESEUTIL explanation:
Defragmentation
/D
Eseutil defragments the database files. This mode reduces the gross size on disk of the database (.edb) and streaming files (.stm) by discarding most empty pages and ad hoc indexes.
Repair
/P
Eseutil repairs corrupt database pages in an offline database but discards any that can't be fixed. In repair mode, the Eseutil utility fixes individual tables but does not adjust the relationships between tables. ISInteg should be used to check logical relationships between tables.
Restore
/C
Eseutil displays the Restore.env file and controls hard recovery after restoration from online backup.
Recovery
/R
Eseutil replays transaction log files or rolls them forward to restore a database to internal consistency or to bring an older copy of a database up to date.
Integrity
/G
Eseutil verifies the page level and Extensible Storage Engine (ESE) level logical integrity of the database but does not verify database integrity at the Information Store level.
File Dump
/M
Eseutil displays headers of database files, transaction log files, and checkpoint files. The mode also displays database space allocation and metadata.
Checksum
/K
Eseutil verifies checksums on all pages in the database and streaming files.
Copy File
/Y
Eseutil performs a fast copy of very large files.
