    Hi

    I am facing a strange issue in the Exchange 2003 Server as the last modified the date is showing old date, that is over a month old. We are talking full backup and backup is successful done everyday. Everything is fine, no idea what’s wrong, OST and all showing the current date. Is it a stage of database crash.

    If anybody has any idea then please help me out.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello Dexter

    Did you try restarting the information and check if this modifies dates

    Hi Micheal

    Thanks for your reply, I have already tried this solution but the modified date is still showing old date

    Hi

    Dexter the date modified timestamp will generally get updated on an Exchange database when either of the things happen
    1. The EDB file size is extended in order to accommodate data that does not fit into whitespace that currently exists in the database.
    2. Or the database is dismounted and all open handles to the files are released.

    Hello eddie

    Thank you, I was actually so much worried something was wrong but since we have 8-10Gb of whitespace, that must be the reason why the date is not changing on the edb file.

    Hello Dexter

    After reading all the valuable answers, I suggest you could run powershell command in case when the database is dismounted, every night before backup starts. I am not sure, just recommending you and if you want to test this then the commands would be like
    Dismount-Database “My database”
    Mount-Database “MyDatabase”
    If you decide to stick it out with your current setup, then make sure you test your restores and test them often.
