Microsoft Exchange Server database consists of two common databases, known as Priv.edb and Priv.stm. These database contains all your significant emails, notes, contacts, tasks, journal, attachments and more. If the Exchange Server database come across any sort of database inconsistency and integrity problem, Eseutil.exe utility can help you to fix the problem. It can also be used to repair the damaged database and defragment it. However, in some cases, this utility can not perform the expected tasks successfully and database remains in inaccessible state. In such cases, you are required to carry out Exchange Recovery to work around the problem.
When you attempt to manually defragment the STM (streaming) file of Exchange Server database, you might encounter the below error message:
“Operation terminated with error -2231 (JET_errSLVStreamingFileInUse, The specified streaming file is currently in use) after 0.891 seconds.”
After the above error, when you check the integrity of STM file, you might encounter the below possibly misleading error:
“Operation terminated with error -1206 (JET_errDatabaseCorrupted, Non database file or corrupted db) after 0.901 seconds.”
You are highly recommended not to use Exchange Server database repair utility against problem STM file as it might damage the internal structure of STM database file. At the same time, you may receive further error message stating:
“Operation terminated with error -1601 (JET_errRecordNotFound, The key was not found) after 2.354 seconds.”

2. The Exchange Server database is corrupt and Exchange Server can not read it.
