How to Create a Mailbox Repair Request in Exchange 2010
The New-MailboxRepairRequest cmdlet detects and repairs the following types of mailbox corruptions:
- Search folder corruptions (using the SearchFolder value of the CorruptionType parameter)
- Aggregate counts on folders that aren’t reflecting correct values (using the AggregateCounts value of the CorruptionType parameter)
- Views on folders that aren’t returning the correct content (using the FolderView value of the CorruptionType parameter)
- Provisioned folders that are incorrectly pointing into parent folders that aren’t provisioned (using the ProvisionedFolder value of the CorruptionType parameter)
To avoid any performance problems, Exchange enforces limits on the number of simultaneous repair requests that can be submitted per server. Only one request can be active for a database-level repair; up to 100 requests can be active for a mailbox-level repair per server.
