Exchange Server Database Corruption Due to “Error 1067”

Creating backup of Exchange Server database is a very common practice for database administrators. It helps them in restoring the database if any kind of data loss, corruption or other errors occur. But sometimes, after restoring your database from backup, you may find it difficult to access data from it.
One such scenario occurs when you try to start directory server in Exchange Server after restoring from backup. When you try to do this, you may encounter the following error message:
“Error 1067. The process terminated unexpectedly.”
Along with this error message, the following event entries might appear in the Application Even Log:
Event ID: 124
Source: ESE97
Description: MSExchangeDS ((1432 ) ) Unable to read the log header.
Error -530.
Event ID: 1196
Source: MSExchangeDS
Description: Couldn’t recover the restored Microsoft Exchange Server
database (EDB). Cannot continue. Error c8000212.
After this error message, you can not access anything from your Exchange Server database and may fall in need of Exchange Server recovery.
Reason of this issue
This problem generally occurs when Edb.log file, which is created while performing restoration from backup, interfaces with recovery process. It occurs on recovery server.
Due to this problem, the recovery process could not be completed successfully and you might face this behavior of Exchange Server. It cause complete inaccessibility of Exchange Server database.
Work around
To fix this problem, manually delete the existing data from the Dsadata folder before starting restore operation from the backup. It will delete Edb.log file.
Though, it could fix the issue, but it is not a safe method. Deleting Edb.log file might introduce severe errors in the Exchange Server database and may corrupt it.
