-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Mike Lagase Sent: Friday, December 31, 2004 8:08 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Re: Exchange offline database defragmentation 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? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Learn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, December 28, 2004 10:09 PM 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.
