By default, after you install Update Rollup 7 for Exchange Server 2007 SP1, the recurrence search for deep folder search is changed from "unlimited" to a limited value of 50,000. In some circumstances, this value may be too high, and you may still experience a Microsoft Exchange Information Store service crash. However, Update Rollup 7 enables you to use two registry entries to manually change the recurrence search parameters. To do this, follow these steps:
- Start Registry Editor.
-
Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKLM\System\CCS\Services\MSExchangeIS\ParametersSystem
- Create or change the value for the following registry entry under the registry subkey, as follows:
Name: Validate Search Folder Restriction
Data type: REG_DWORD
Value data: 1
- After you change the value for the registry entry, verify that the issue is fixed. If you continue to experience the issue, continue with the remaining steps.
-
In Registry Editor, locate and then click the registry subkey that is mentioned in step 2.
- Create or change the value for the following registry entry under the registry subkey, as follows:
Name: Search Folder Nesting Level
Data type: REG_DWORD
Value data: 500 (decimal)
-
If you continue to experience the same issue even after the change to the Search Folder Nesting Level registry entry, complete the steps in the "Use Isinteg tool" section.
Notes For the registry changes to take effect, you do not have to do the following:
- Restart the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service.
-
Restart the Exchange server.
-
Fail over the Exchange server in a clustered environment.
Use Isinteg tool
If the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service continues to crash even after the change of values for the two registry entries, you must use the Isinteg tool. To do this, follow these steps.
Note You can run the Isinteg tool from the
Drive_Letter:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\bin folder.
- Identify and unmount the Exchange database that has the problem.
-
Run the Isinteg tool against the database by using the following command:
exchsrvr\bin\isinteg -s Server_Name -fix -test alltests
-
After Isinteg finishes running, view the ISINTEG.pri log file that is created in the MDBDATA folder.
Verify that the entry for FIXES is equal to zero. If this entry is not equal to zero, run the Isinteg tool against the database again. You may have to run the Isinteg tool several times until you see that the FIXES entry is equal to zero.
