An Exchange Server database might fail to mount if it is inconsistent. In such cases, you can use Exchange utilities to repair them. However, if it fails to perform the repair, you need to use your backup or scan the database using an efficient Exchange Repair software.

Event Type: Error
Event Source: ESE
Event Category: Logging/Recovery
Event ID: 413

Cause
There can be several reasons for this error to occur:
The Exchange log file has been deleted or quarantined by an antivirus application
You run eseutil /p command on the database, but the log file doesn't get removed
Exchange log file has a mismatching LGeneration and signature
You run eseutil /r command with incorrect logfile base name
Solution

If the Exchange log file has been deleted, you need to use your Storage Group database backup to restore and replay the log files. If restoring from backup is not feasible, you should repair it using database repair utilities or a third-party application to make the database back to consistent state.
If the Exchange log file has been quarantined, you should recover it to the folder containing your production log files and start Microsoft Exchange Information Store service.
Move the transaction log files to a different folder if running eseutil /p command is the issue, while making sure that the databases are consistent. If the databases are inconsistent, restore them from backup or apply a third-party tool to repair them.
Use the correct switch to run eseutil /r command successfully.
