Cause

This issue occurs because the EdgeTransport.exe process tries to find the current row on the database without checking the existence of the rows when the redundant copy is deleted. If the deletion is fired before committing the current row, a Microsoft.Exchange.Transport.Storage.DataSeekException exception is thrown.
