HOW TO: Check the Mount Status of Data Stores in Exchange 2000 Server (314217)

SUMMARY

You can access only data stores that are mounted. Dismounted stores may also point to problems with the database files that the store uses. If the database files that are registered in the Active Directory are missing or corrupted, Exchange 2000 Server and Exchange Server 2003 cannot mount the store.
