Isinteg Exchange 2003
Microsoft provides various command line tools for Exchange Server 2003 and other versions of Exchange to help the system administrator or help desk staff to effectively perform Exchange Server’s management related tasks. Tasks such as managing database, defragmenting database, compacting database, verifying health of the database, repairing database, and other similar tasks can be performed using those command line tools. Amid those tools, isinteg.exe is the one that helps the administrator to verify database integrity and to resolve the errors detected by it.
Isinteg stands for Information Store Integrity Checker. It helps the administrator or the person maintaining Exchange Server, to eliminate the errors creating problems in the start up of Information Store. Moreover, it also resolves the errors due to which users are not able to login to their accounts and to view, delete, and receive emails. It can also be used to investigate mailboxes, folders, items, etc. to confirm the existence of any sort of problem. Isinteg Exchange 2003 repairs found errors at application level, which is much higher than the page level.
