1Is this my case?
Which Cases Need an Exchange Log Analyzer?

- JET_errLogFileCorrupt ErrorExchange raises this error when a log file sits in a bad or corrupt state.
- Database in a Dirty StateAn inconsistent database needs its log files restored before it mounts.
- Log Files Growing FastRapid log growth points to ActiveSync trouble, a corrupt mailbox or a damaged database.
- Deleted Emails to RestorePermanently deleted emails still sit in the transactions of edb.log files.
- Dismounted DatabaseOffline database logs need a viewer that works without a live server.
- Mail Needed From LogsExport emails from log files to formats that Outlook and Thunderbird open.
EDB File Required
Log analysis needs the matching EDB file. Add a log file and its EDB file loads along with it.
Any Log File Size
No edb.log file size limit applies to the analysis.
No Live Server
Open logs from offline and dismounted databases without a live Exchange Server environment.
Microsoft explains that Exchange records every change in the transaction logs before it records the change in the database. Checkpoint files then record which logged changes reached the database file.
Corrupt or missing logs block a database for that reason. Open the Microsoft page on Exchange transaction logs and checkpoint files for the full design.

Before
- Log files stay unreadable
