Index Corruption When you Defragment EDB File After Copying on Another

Server

Microsoft Exchange Server offers multilingual environment support to its users. You can
easily access of your emails, contacts, tasks and other items in any language, which is
included in its database. Every language in Microsoft Exchange Server has a unique Locale ID
(LCID). This is quite helpful feature to provide access of Exchange Server in native language.
But in some situations, this might might prove harmful and cause database index corruption.
The situation might occur due to a number of reasons and eventually cause critical database
corruption and data loss situations. Such cases require Exchange Server Recovery to be
sorted out.

In a practical scenario of index and Exchange Server database corruption, when you move the
Exchange Server 2000 database to a server, which does not have same LCID and then you
attempt to defragment the database, index corruption is reported. However, when load
correct Local ID on new server and then attempt to defragment Exchange Server database, it
doesn't corruption the index corruption.

 The LCID is a 32-bit value, which is defined by Microsoft Windows operation system
that has a sort ID, language ID and reserved bits to identify the particular language.
For instance, the Locate ID for English is 1033.

In these situations of index corruption, you can not access data from the Exchange Server
database as the database become inaccessible or corrupt. Thus, it becomes essential to find out
the cause of this issue and go for Exchange Server Repair by resolving it.

Grounds of the issue

of silent index corruption. For instance:

 If an LCID, which is reinstalled that was previously uninstalled (or vice versa), there is
the possibility of index corruption.

 When you backup and restore database, which is generated by the computer that has
LCID installed to a system without LCID installed, you might come across index
corruption.

 If you copy a database to another computer, defragment it and then copy back to
original system, silent index corruption occurs.
