I did check my Event log and it said that there is only about 46MB of free white space available. I guess no point in doing the defrag then huh ? -----Original Message----- From: Ed Crowley [MVP] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2003 12:25 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: EDBUTIL or ESEUTIL Don't bother unless you will get a substantial amount of space back. As another respondent told you, check your event logs to see how much white space there is.

I'm aware that Exchange 5.5 is known to do a good job with the online defrag, however, would it still help to cut down on the size of my store by doing an offline defrag ? I have read all of Microsoft Q Articles on this topic but would still like to know about a real world scenario. Since it's Exchange 5.5 I will be using ESEUTIL. Moreover, this would help me when I upgrade to Exchange 2000 in a few months as it will reduce the size of my information store. Also, any warnings I should consider before I do the defrag ? _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
