SYMPTOMS
The Isinteg utility continually loops around certain folders in the information store if you run it by using the following command line:
isinteg -pri -fix -detailed -verbose -l isinteg.log -test folder
The following is a sample log file:
Microsoft Exchange Information Store Integrity Checker v5.5.2448.0

Warning: MsgFolder 56 (Fid=0001-00000000A333, Mid=0001-000001A156D9, Inid=0001-000001BA5241): Prop ptagSiteID(67F80102) was not found in the ptagMsgPropList.

The log continues until it reaches the following point:
Warning: MsgFolder 128 (Fid=0001-0000000A617D, Mid=0001-0000019F533A, Inid=0035-000002582304): Prop ptagSiteID(67F80102) was not found in the ptagMsgPropList.
Warning: Folder 1317 (Fid=0001-0000000A6703) "Inbox": RootFid is corrupted beyond redemption.
Fix: Folder 1317 (Fid=0001-0000000A6703) "Inbox": Fixed The invalid entry in ptagRootFid with correct value.
Error: Folder 1317 (Fid=0001-0000000A6703) "Inbox": Error ecNotFound-MAPI_E_NOT_FOUND processing this folder
At this point, the Isinteg utility returns to the first folder and starts again. This looping continues until the log file consumes all of the available disk space, at which point the Isinteg utility finally stops.

Note When you start this version of the information store, the information store databases are automatically upgraded to a new format. After the databases have been upgraded, you can restore an earlier version of the Store.exe file on the server, but only if it is version 5.5.2651.32 or later. If you restore a Store.exe file earlier than version 5.5.2651.32 after the database has been upgraded, you are no longer able to start the information store.

Fix: Folder 1317 (Fid=0001-0000000A6703) "Inbox": Fixed The invalid entry in ptagRootFid with correct value.
Fix: Folder 1317 (Fid=0001-0000000A6703) "Inbox": Removed the folder hierarchy rooted at this from the database because the Root does not exist.
After all of the folders have been checked, the Isinteg utility finishes successfully.
