Hi,

I am running Exchange 2007 in a CCR, and my primary node is reporting in the event viewer that the C: drive has corrupt filesystem and has unusable content and that should run chkdsk.
Other than the fact that these type of errors are bad, what else should I be concerned with by running chkdsk on Exchange? I have already failed over to the passive node, but I have never come across any issues in my exchange environment, so I'm very hesitant

Hi,
I recommend you not to run Chkdsk.
I recommend you to move Exchange to another new hardware first and then troubleshoot the disk related issue.

Hi Pres,
I agree with Xiu Zhang's recommendation not to run chkdsk but I don't think that it is necessary to recover the whole cluster. Just replace the server with the corrupt filesystem as described in this thread:
