SCANPST = Fatal Error: 80040900

S

Spencer

Trying to scan customer's broken PST file. It is about 1.9
Gigs large. Scanpst.exe simply won't fix it - it bombs out
every time (6 tries) at what appears to be the same spot
over and over during Phase 4 of 8. The error message at
the end says "Fatal Error: 80040900", but I can't seem to
find a solution anywhere online.
Thanks.

You cannot use scanpst.exe against a file of that size. See this page for
some help:
