Table 34-1
Three Databases That GWCheck Compares
After GWCheck makes the database comparisons, it begins processing according to the databases
selected and any inconsistencies found.
Case 1 - Missing Entry in the Post Office Database (wphost.db)
In this example, a contents check is run either against all users on the post office or against one user,
“ABC.” GWCheck does not find the FID of one or more users.
Table 34-2
Missing Entry in Wphost.db
GWCheck removes the entry from
ngwguard.db,
deletes
userabc.db
and systematically deletes
all of the user’s messages from the message databases that are not still being referenced by other
users. If the user has been deleted, GWCheck cleans up after that user.
WARNING:
If a post office database becomes damaged so some users are unable to log in,
GWCheck should not be run until the post office has been rebuilt. For more information, see
Section 26.3, “Rebuilding Domain or Post Office Databases,” on page 397
.
Case 2 - Missing Entry in the Guardian Database (ngwguard.db)
In this example, a GWCheck is run either against all users on the post office or against one user,
“ABC.” A user’s FID is found and the user’s database is found in the post office, but the user is
missing in
ngwguard.db
.
Table 34-3

found in the ofuser directory.
WPHOST.DB
NGWGUARD.DB
FILE SYSTEM
FID abc

office database (
wphost.db

The guardian database
