After restoring an Exchange 2007 server from a backup to a test ESXi VM I was unable to mount the Exchange mailbox database:
Failed to mount database ‘Mailbox Store’.
Error:
Exchange is unable to mount the database that you specified. Specified database: SERVER1\First Storage Group\Mailbox Store; Error code: MapiExceptionJetErrorAttachedDatabaseMismatch: Unable to mount database. (hr=0x80004005, ec=-1216)

To fix this I used:
eseutil -p “Mailbox Store.edb”
eseutil /r E02 /i
eseutil /r E02 /i
(in the directory that contains the database)
!The first command is said to be able to cause the loss of data. So only run this on a backup database!
