Repairing Exchange databases with ESEUTIL

I have been called in to repair Exchange Server databases a couple of times so far. All had the same symptom; the mailbox stores couldn't mount and it came after a server migration, power failure or backup restore.
In all those cases I couldn't fix the problem without the help of ESEUTIL, Event Viewer and Microsoft's online support.
