Hi,We are facing a strange issue inthe exchange 2003 server as the last modifed the date is showing old date. Everyday we are taking full backup and back up is successful. Also there is no problem for the users OWA, MAPI, POP3 everything is fine. No idea what could be the reason.... OST and all showing the current date. Is it the first stage of database crash!!!! please help....

Nattu,This is indeed not anything related to database crash. Time stamps on either of exchange databases as filesare handled by Operating System moreover than Exchange. If you can see the last backup date correctly then you dont really need to worry about that. Yet, for more information or assistance on the modification dates on files I would suggest to post a thread in Windows Server forums. Someone should be able to address your problem.

Agree with Milind Naphade- There is nothing wrong to the database, closely monitor application log and if there is any logs pointing towards the database.Arun Kumar | MCSE - 2K3 + Messaging | ITIL-F V3
