This blog post is devoted to the common problem of database corruption for all administrators of Exchange server. Microsoft introduced a new technique to repair mailbox from corrupted EDB file in Exchange 2010 and 2013 server using NewMailbox Repair Request. In this segment I’ll demonstrate how to use New-MailboxRepairRequest command in Exchange 2013 for repairing corrupted EDB file mailbox.

The New-MailboxRepairRequest command helps to fix these types of corruption problem of the mailbox.

  • Search Folder: With “searchfolder” parameter you can fix the search folder corruptions problem. For example if you are facing search folder list and verification problem then use this parameter
  • Aggregate Counts: Use “aggregatecounts” parameter, if you are getting the incorrect information about quantity of the element in folders and their size.
  • Folder View: If you are receiving incorrect content of the mailbox database then run “folderview” parameter.
  • Provisioned Folder: With “provisionedfolder” parameter you can resolve the folder logical structure damage problem.

Now start the recovery process for all four types of failures, here I’ll start the repairing procedure of Anglebrown user mailbox.
