Some weeks ago I had to restore an Exchange Server 2000 and guess what, an error occurred when trying to mount the database.
Exchange System Manager
ID no: c1041724 An internal processing error has occurred. Try restarting the Exchange System Manager or the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service, or both.
Solution after reading a lot of newsgroups an kb-articles:
- stop all exchange services
- rename the mdbdata-folder
- start the system attendant
- start the information store
- restore from backup (mdbdata-folder will be recreated)
- rename %drive%\program files\exchsrvr\mdbdata\e00.log to e00.old
- rename %drive%\program files\exchsrvr\mdbdata\e00.chk to e00o.old
- run eseutil /cc
- mount the priv1.edb store
- mount the pub1.edb store
This worked for me ! Server is up again and running.
