Microsoft Windows operating system uses LCID (Locale ID) to identify a specific language. LCID is a 32-bit value, which consists of language ID, reserved bits, and sort ID. Every language has a different LCID in Microsoft Windows operating system. However, the LCID may create some problems when you move your Exchange Server database on a computer that does not have similar LCID. In such situations, the application may not work properly and database corruption may also occur. This behavior of Microsoft Exchange Server eventually leads to critical data loss and requires Exchange Server Recovery to be sorted out.

In a practical scenario of this problem, Exchange Server database may report index corruption when you try to defragment the database after moving your Microsoft Exchange Server database to a computer that doesn't have same LCID. Sometimes, the database may open correctly and defragmentation process completes successfully when you load correct LCID on your computer.

The index corruption may prevent you to open Microsoft Exchange Server database. It can cause serious corruption and data loss problems. In order to gain access of your valuable data in the database, you must figure out the cause of this behavior and then perform Microsoft Exchange Recovery by fixing it.

If your Microsoft Exchange Server database is moved among the computers, which have different LCID installation, there are the possibilities of silent index corruption. For instance:

1.If you uninstalled and then reinstalled the LCID, it can cause index corruption.

2.If you create backup of your Exchange Server database on a computer, which has LCID installed and then restore the database on a computer that does not contain any LCID, index corruption may occur.

3.If you copy database to different system, defragment it, and then copy back to original server, possible index corruption may occur.

4.The Exchange Server database is corrupt and its index is unreadable by Microsoft Exchange Server application.
