Executive Summary:

There are hundreds of utilities to identify and fix problems in Exchange Server 2007, from all-purpose tools such as Event Viewer, to specific tools like Dcdiag. Here are Brien Posey’s top 10 easy to find and easy to use utilities.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 is a difficult, if not intimidating, product to troubleshoot. Fortunately, many utilities can help diagnose and fix the myriad of problems that can arise when using Exchange 2007. My list of top 10 existing and new utilities includes tools for watching systems (performance monitor), tools for researching crashes (Event Viewer), and tools to troubleshooting problems (Database Troubleshooter).

1. Database Troubleshooter
The Database Troubleshooter is one tool most administrators hope they never have to use. It's designed to analyze database and transaction logs and their entries and report any issues that might prevent you from recovering the database. For example, this tool can be used to identify missing or corrupted log files. . . .
