Exchange 2003 database corruption

[vivisector]

Hi All,

I have had a huge database error recently. The database (.edb) was dismounted and it was suffering from "dirty shutdown"

I was able to fix it using "eseutil /p"  but i read that after a faliure like that it is highly recommended to create a totally clean database on a new harddisk and import the mail back to the mailboxes after.

My question is:

how can i do that? what would be the steps for it, and how is this effecting the outlook users?

Thanks.
