ISINTEG is a command-line utility that tests and repairs the integrity of a Microsoft Exchange information store. Sometimes, due to corruption of headings, pointers, or other indicators in an Exchange information store, its integrity is destroyed. As a result, several problems occur such as inconsistency in mailbox size, inability to move a mailbox, or frequent crashing of Exchange store or mail clients, etc. In these conditions, administrators can use the ISINTEG utility to identify and correct the errors. The ISINTEG utility first checks the status of the MSExchangeIS service. If this service is stopped, the utility displays the message "Error: unable to get databases status from server." If the service is running, it displays a list of databases. On selecting a database, it checks the cross-reference tables in the database for errors. Finally, it performs the "named to ID" check to remove unused named properties. The ISINTEG utility can be used with three switches: fix, verbose, and test TestName, depending upon the requirement.
