The last sentence now reads:

You hunt around in Exchange Administrator, but can't
find what you're looking for; that's because there isn't
any way to do this to all existing mailboxes from within
Exchange Administrator.

In the fourth paragraph, the author lists the same registry key for two

different services. He says that the DS Port is set by
MSExchangeDSParametersTCP/IP port and lists the same registry entry for the
IS: MSExchangeDSParametersTCP/IP port. The IS registry entry should be the
MSExchangeISParametersTCP/IP port.

Therefore, the second:

...MSExchangeDS...

now reads:

...MSExchangeIS...

The "Repair mode" section text was replaced with the following

Recovery mode

eseutil can attempt to recover a database that's in an inconsistent
state. This is called a soft recovery, since it won't cause any data
loss and is generally nondestructive. When you use eseutil's recovery
mode, it attempts to bring the database to a consistent state by
replaying any uncommitted transactions from the log files. When
recovery runs, eseutil uses the checkpoint file (EDB.CHK) to confirm
which log files still contain uncommitted transactions. Recovery mode
has the following syntax:

eseutil /P database [/T tempName] [/D] [/V] [/X] [/O]

database

Specifies what database you want to repair. Use /ds, /ispub,
or /ispriv as the database name to tell eseutil to look up the
database name and path in the registry, or provide the full
path and database name.

/D

Specifies that eseutil should test the database for errors
without repairing it.

The /T, /V, /X, and /O switches have the same function here as in the
previous modes."

The "Recovery mode" section was replaced with the following

Repair mode

This mode is scary because it can cause data loss. When you tell
eseutil to recover a database, it will freely truncate any database
page it can't cleanly recover. While this will normally restore your
database to a consistent and usable state, it will also normally
cause you to lose some message and/or mailbox data. Don't use this
mode except as a last resort. If you run an integrity check and it
shows errors, always run a repair first. If that doesn't fix
everything, you have two choices: restore from a good backup
(hopefully with no data loss), or run a recovery. Any time you're
tempted to choose the latter option, call Microsoft support first to
see whether there are any other alternatives for recovery. MS has an
array of specialized tools that they can give you to fix specific
problems, but only if you call them. Repair mode has the following
syntax:

eseutil /R { /IS | /DS } [/L logPath] [/S systemPath] [/O]

The interesting switch here is the one that controls whether the
recovery runs against the IS or DS. You can specify either, but not
both, and eseutil will automatically look up the location of the log
and database files in the registry-you can't manually override those
values. The /L, /S, and /O switches work the same way here as in the
other modes."
