So after online maintenance occurred, what did the 1221 event in the application log say regarding the amount of free white space that is available in the database? Is it even worth it to defragment the store if you do not gain anything by it?

Subject: Exchange offline database defragmentation



Hi all,
Please advice on the following.
We have exchange server 2000 std running on windows server 2k with latest
service packs. Our database size reached recently to its limit. We followed
the steps in ms kb to clean up emails and ran online defragmentation which
didn't give us more database space. The database still shows around 16G even
we converted some mailboxes to pst and deleted the unused ones and purge
them from the database. The problem is with offline defragmentation which
seems to be hanged every time we run the eseutil.exe /d. it just stops for a
long time because I can see initially temp files created by eseutil.exe
increase in size but then when it reaches to 3GB, it just stops and no
activity and then have to cancel it. The disk has a 21GB free space
available and Ms recommends to have 110% disk space of the exchange database
size to run eseutil.exe successfully.


Does anyone has any recommendation on this situation?

Thanks

kashi
