A couple of weeks ago we had a catastrophic power failure and
unfortunately I hadn't gotten the new UPS software up and running.

My newly installed copy of Exchange 2007 seems to be having problems.
It's running on Server 2008 x64. I am getting ESE events
9518,454,492,413, and 485 to start out with, but I am sure my problem
is with a single file.

When I check the properties on the E01tmp.log file in the second
storage group (a file pointed toward in most of the events above) it
shows an unknown owner. When I try to take ownership as administrator
I get access denied. Because of this ACL problem with the file I am
not able to mount my Second Storage Group.

I am assuming that it was being accessed by something, AV or Backup at
the time of the power failure and its ACL became corrupted.

First off, can I delete this file? The storage group is dismounted if
that makes a difference. Secondly, does anyone know how I can delete
this file? Anything I try on it leads to access denied. I've tried
rebooting, stopping Exchange services, etc...

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Thats the temporary file generated during transaction log roll-over.
If you stop the IS , you cant move it to another directory?

What are the exact error messages you are seeing?

The problem started when I started my new 12.5 version of Backup Exec
with the Exchange option. I kept getting as error during the
backup.

"Final Error: 0xe000ff02 - One or more of the databases for this
storage group are currently dismounted. This backup is incomplete.
Make sure that all the databases are mounted, and then resubmit the
backup job."

So I looked at Exchange Server Manager and I saw that the Second
Storage Group was dismounted. At that point I attempted to manually
mount it (Right Click -> Mount Database). After a while of waiting I
received this error from Exchange

"Error: Exchange is unable to mount the database that you specified.
Specified database "DATHOMIR\Second Storage Group\Public Folder
Database; Error code: MapiExceptionCallFailed: Unable to mount
Database (hr=0x80004005, ec=-1032)"

When I looked in the event Log right after the attempted mount I see
these errors

Event ID 9518:ESE "Error 0xfffffbf8 starting Storage Group /DC=domain/
DC=stanek/CN=Configuration/CN=Services/CN=Microsoft Exchange/CN=Stanek
Tool Corp/CN=Administrative Croups/CN=Exchange Administrative Group
(FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/CD=Servers/CD=DATHOMIR/CN=InformationStore/CN=Second
Storage Group on the Microsoft Exchange Information Store.,
Storage Group - Initialization of Jet failed."

Event ID 454:ESE "MSExchangeIS (2128) Second Storage Group: Database
recovery/restore failed with exception error -1032."

Event ID 492:ESE "MSExchangeIS (2128) Second Storage Group: the
logfile sequence in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Mailbox
\Second Storage Group\" has been halted due to a fatal error. No
further updates are possible for the databases that use this logfile
sequence. Please correct the problem and restart or restore from
backup."

Event ID 413:ESE "MSExchangeIS (2128) Second Storage Group: Unable to
create a new logfile because the database cannot write to the log
drive. The drive may be read-only, out of disk space, misconfigured,
or corrupted. Error -1032"

Event ID 485:ESE "MSExchangeIS (2128) Second Storage Group: An attempt
to delete the file "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Mailbox
\Second Storage Group\E01tmp.log" failed with system error 5
(0x00000005): "Access is denied.". The delete file operation will fail
with error -1032 (0xfffffbf8)."

The database tries to recover but since it can't delete or write to
the E01tmp.log file it fails on the second storage group. I've tried
to delete/rename/move the file manually but I keep getting access
denied. When looking at the permissions I see that the Ownership of
the file is Unknown. When I attempt to take ownership as
Administrator I also get access denied. I've tried rebooting the
server and trying but I get the same results.

Thanks for the response.
