Re:information store fail to start
An information store get failed to start due to many reasons. Corruption is one of the most common cause which sometimes leads to data loss situations also. In this case only a third party Exchange server recovery software may help you to repair and restore the corrupt information store database: http://www.serversdatarecovery.com/exchange.html
