As am I :-)...I really am against doing offline defrags because I really hate to even touch eseutil unless I have to. The people in question are infrastructure guys (jack's of all trades...masters of none). We did a defrag awhile back on a server because it's store had grown to 50 GB when it really had about 20 GB in it. We did recover a lot of space with that which is why I think they think that it would be a good idea (as long as there is a backup) to run it every couple months on all servers. I have only been doing Exchange admin for about 2 years, but in that time I have learned to let Exchange manage itself (unless there is a really important reason to do otherwise). I just want to make sure my gut instinct is correct in that it is not the best idea to run eseutil /d as part of yearly maintenance.

I don't share this opinion, but I am having a hard time finding evidence to support my belief. Does anyone know of any links that support the theory that eseutil should not be used for regular maintenance or am I wrong and should it be part of regular maintenance? Exchange 5.5 environment. Thanks for any help anyone can provide. ___ _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
