1) That logic is so flawed I can smell it from here. (Forgive
me if I'm wrong, Sherry, but aren't you the one that recovers the SAME 450MB
every month or was that someone else?) That might have been someone
else. It is simply NOT correct. The database doesn't perpetually
grow if there is unused whitespace.
>>it doesn't work in 5.5 when you try to redirect the temp
database, it must run on the same physical drive that it is
stored.
2)
That is also incorrect. Have a look at eseutil /? (which in my opinion is
the only switch you should be running eseutil with). Do be aware that the speed
of this process over the network will be significantly slower than if the temp
database was local.

I'm
not familiar with E2K, but on 5.5 I regularly (read monthly) run eseutil.
I run it because that is the ONLY way to regain space in the Exchange DB that
has been freed up by messages being deleted etc. If I did not do this on a
regular basis I would hit the Exchange 5.5 IS limit.
I
would guess that it would be /t f:/tempedb.edb or what ever you plan
to use for the defrag. It may not work, it doesn't work in 5.5 when you
try to redirect the temp database, it must run on the same physical drive that
it is stored.
Good
luck.
