The Microsoft® Exchange Server Analyzer Tool has determined that you have a log file generation discrepancy. This error indicates that a transaction log file has been renamed with an inappropriate sequence number.
Exchange transaction log files are named according to the following format: EnnXXXXX.log
- XXXXX = A five digit hexadecimal sequence number. When a
new set of transaction log files is generated, the first log in the
sequence will be 000001, and the next log will be 00002, and so on.
Because each transaction log records its own sequence number in its
header, you can determine whether the log filename has been
changed.
- Enn = The log prefix, which is a three character
sequence shared by every transaction log for this storage group.
Typically, the prefix will be E00, E01, E02, E03 or R00 (for a
recovery storage group).
The current log being written to is named only with the log prefix. This log does not acquire a sequence number until it has been closed and a new current log is generated. Therefore, the current log file may be named E00.log. When this log file is full, it may be renamed E0012345.log. A new E00.log would be generated with an internal sequence number of 12346.
To correct this error-
Rename the log file to the appropriate sequence number.
-
Run the following command:
C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\Bin\Eseutil.exe /ML [log filename]
The lGeneration value in the output of this command lists the actual sequence number of the log file.
