CAUSE
=====
When you analyze the application log and look at the details of all these Event
IDs, it becomes obvious that "object at fault" in each Event ID is pointing to
the same message object, a corrupted message. In the Event IDs above, this is
the Db000034.dat file, which is located in the MTA database folder.
RESOLUTION
==========
Even though the above Event IDs state the "Object does not exist," it may exist
in the Mtadata folder. If the corrupted file (Db000034.dat in this example)
still exists in the Mtadata folder:
1. Stop the MTA service.
2. Rename or remove this file from the Mtadata folder.
3. Run the Mtacheck utility twice.
4. Restart the MTA.
If the message file does not exist in the Mtadata folder:
1. Stop the MTA.
2. Run Mtacheck twice.
3. If Mtacheck registers that the MTA is clean, restart the MTA.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The MTA should restart without a problem. At this point, there should be no
database server error issues with the MTA unless another corrupted message hits
the MTA, or there are some other issues with the MTA. If there are some other
issues with the MTA, please follow the procedures for troubleshooting the MTA as
mentioned in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base articles:
