RESOLUTION
The hotfix that is specified in this article adds the
following functionality in Exchange 2000 Server. When the last available
transaction log in the sequence approaches, an event that is similar to the
following is logged in the Application log:
Event Type:
Warning Event Source: ESE
Event Category: Logging/Recovery
Event ID:
514
Description: Information Store (2748) SG2:
Log sequence numbers for this instance have almost been completely consumed. To
begin renumbering from generation 1, the instance must be shutdown cleanly and
all log files must be deleted. Backups will be invalidated.
Note Although
the event is logged in the Application log, you must still
maintain the transaction log.
For example, you
can move the present transaction log to another
location
so that the
transaction log sequence
can
start over.
