The only regular maintenance I recommend is watching the logs. Exchange will tell you when it's hurting. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Whitespace is purely your own decision. Event ID 1221 (from memory; someone correct me if I misremembered) will tell you how much whitespace is in the db. How much is too much and whether it is worth the downtime to reclaim it to the file system is your call. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mario Fernandez" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, March 18, 2002 6:14 PM Subject: RE: only 6 Mb after online defrag > I've been trying to find out if there's some regular maintenace that should > ne performed on the Exchange server, ie. eseutil, isinteg etc. Everything > I've read so far is specific, and always warn against using any of these > utilities unless ther's a problem.
