XADM: Err Msg: Operation Terminated with Error -1032 (148645)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0
  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0
  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5

This article was previously published under Q148645

SYMPTOMS

When you use the Eseutil.exe (Exchange Server 5.0 and 5.5) or the Edbutil.exe (Exchange Server 4.0) utility that ships with Microsoft Exchange Server to compact the database or to make storage contiguous, the following error may appear:
Operation terminated with error -1032

CAUSE

The appropriate Windows NT service must be stopped before Eseutil/Edbutil is run.

RESOLUTION

Which service needs to be stopped depends on whether you are running Eseutil/ Edbutil against the directory or the information store. For the directory, stop the Microsoft Exchange Directory service. For the information stores, stop the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service.

If the services appear to be stopped, but error -1032 still occurs, change all affected services to manual and restart the computer. This will ensure the service is stopped. However, after Eseutil.exe/Edbutil.exe runs, you must change the services back to automatic.

The following error message may also indicate a file permission or attribute problem:
Running error.exe -1032
Error -1032 (0xfffffbf8) = JET_errFileAccessDenied
Stated: Permission issues can also cause this error message:
Error -1032 (0xfffffbf8) = JET_errFileAccessDenied
