Error 0xfffff05b Post Applying Exchange Server 2000 SP3 or Later
- by Axel Culver
A compressed NTFS partition can cause several problems, if is made to store Information Store databases. Some of them are high CPU usage, delays when enumerating large NTFS directories and performance issues with many files. It can even corrupt the Information Store and prevent it from starting when it reaches to about 4 GB in size. Also, Exchange Server 2000 SP3 and Exchange Server 2003 do not support compressed Information Store. So, if you upgrade to any of these versions and store Information Store databases are stored on compressed NTFS partition, odds are that they might fail to mount. However, if the database are corrupted due to compression, you will need to restore them from backup or apply soft recovery commands. At times, when it doesn't work, you need a powerful Exchange Server Recovery solution to repair the corrupted databases.
