As Ed W. has explained in another post, Exchange does a great job of maintaining itself. All you need to do is:
A. Make sure your nightly full backups are successful. B. Make sure you monitor the health and performance of your server. C. Make sure you don't do any foolish administrative mistakes (like virus scanning your logfiles etc.) Serdar Soysal -----Original Message----- From: Leonard Lee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 19, 2002 7:49 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Recommendation for Exchange Routine Maintenance Like all good Exchange Administrators, our job is to look for ways to ensure that the corporate messaging system is in functioning in condition by practicing routine maintenance. I put it to the forum to supply their thoughts on the best practices that they have on this matter.

Anyone recommend otherwise. Thanks for clearing the up the white space Mario Fernandez Network Administrator DataSynapse 632 Broadway 5th Floor New York, NY 10012 tel. (212) 842-8849 fax.

As you delete user mailboxes however, and Exchange defrags your Store, you will notice additional "white space." Don't worry about it. Exchange will reuse it as more mail is stored on your server.
