List of EDB file errors and tools to salvage the Exchange Database
Exchange Database is a huge structure composed of the EDB (Exchange Database) and STM (Streaming Internet) files. Where EDB files help in storing the folders and STM files hold the internet files. The functioning of both these files is necessary for the functioning of entire Exchange Database. In this article, we will tell you about some common errors which halt the functioning of the Exchange Database.
Note: There is also a mention of EDB to PST (Convert EDB to PST) tool which can easily fix these errors.
Error -327 (0xfffffeb9)
Error -327 also known as 0xfffffeb9 error flashes when a bug hits the Exchange Database or if there is a hard disk crash. A hard disk crash can disturb the page order of Exchange Database.
Error -501 (0xfffffe0b)
0xfffffe0b signifies that there is a physical damage in the transaction log. This error is a very hard nut to crack.
Error -510 (0xfffffe02)
This error appears when the Log disk is full or hard disk is beyond access. In that case, Exchange Server fails to write in the current log.

Error -532 (0xfffffdec)
Error 532 denotes that the checkpoint file is inconsistent with the transaction log files.
Error -537 (0xfffffde7)
If the EDB and STM files lack consistency then this error will appear.
Tools to repair the Exchange Database: Eseutil and ISInteg
Eseutil is located at the C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\Bin folder of Exchange Server. This tool works along with the Extensible Storage Engine (ESE), Exchange Database (EDB) files, STM (Streaming) files and log files. A user can give various commands with this tool like Defragmentation: /D; Repair: /P; Restore: /C; Recovery: /R; Integrity: / G; File Dump: /M; Checksum: /K; Copy File: /Y, etc.
ISInteg is again a Microsoft based Utility for repairing the Exchange Database errors. It has got the potential for repairing many errors. A user can also initiate interrelated tests with ISInteg . It analyses the database and quickly performs the repair methods. The methods to use the Eseutil and ISInteg tools have been elaborated at Microsoft Support Site for different errors.
Unfortunately, using these tools needs a lot of expertise and familiarity with exchange database. A single solution which can accurately fix all the aforementioned errors is Kernel for EDB to PST Software. This is a convert EDB to PST tool which quickly heals the damages of Exchange Database.
