Most the people here who use it on a monthly basis would have a very difficult time explaining what the log files are, what they are used for, and why they are there. don't go by them. Listen to people who know what they are talking about. DON'T TOUCH eseutil unless you are on the phone with PSS or know what you are doing and have a very good backup.

 

The best maintance for Exchange is apply service packs. other then that nothing needs to be done. The longer a server is up the better.

So what is the best practice with defragmentation?

MS says that "ESEUITL is not considered a tool for regular maintenance and should only be used in case of emergency after contacting Microsoft Technical Support". On the other hand, there're people here that use it on monthly basis!

So, to use or not to use?

This statement is NOT entirely accurate.  Try the following syntax and you can direct wherever you want including mapped drives.  For example, C:\exchsrver/bin>eseutil /d /ispriv /tf:\tempedb.edb.  Notice, there is no space between the /t and the drive you wish to defrag on.

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.

Sherry

Why do you need to defrag the IS? Has MS told you to do this?

eseutil is a tool that if you are not familiar with, you shouldn't be using. Now tell us why you want to do it.
