Is your Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 system behaving unusually? Are you unable to start various Exchange Database Server services? Is your EDB (Exchange Server Database) inaccessible? Such behavior indicates Exchange database corruption, which may occur due to a wide range of reasons, ranging from simple user mistake to catastrophic system crash. It leads to critical data loss and needs Exchange Recovery to access your mission critical data.
