APPLIES TO

This article was previously published under Q185131

SYMPTOMS

When you try to start the Information Store service after a server crash, the following error message appears:

"The dynamic link library edb.dll could not be found in the specified path <PATH system variable>"

CAUSE

Some Exchange files may have been corrupted during the server crash. When the Information Store service is started, it thinks it is dealing with the EDB format rather than the ESE97 format.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, reinstall Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 by running Setup.exe from the Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 CD and selecting Reinstall.
