XCON: MTA Runs Internal MTACHECK Even After Running Command- Line Version (169631)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0
This article was previously published under Q169631 SYMPTOMS
After you run the command-line utility MTACHECK, located in the
Exchsrvr\Bin directory, the MTA runs the internal version of MTACHECK upon
startup.
CAUSE
When the MTA service starts, it checks for a placeholder file (Dbbitmp.dat)
to see if the service last stopped without an error. If the file is
missing, then the MTA will run an internal MTACHECK in order verify
database integrity. In the 4.0 and 5.0 versions of Exchange, the command
line version of MTACHECK does not create this placeholder file and
therefore the MTA assumes the MTA database needs to be checked.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server
versions 4.0 and 5.0. This problem has been fixed in Exchange Server
version 5.5.
