Subject: RE: CompactingThe only time you should really run an off-line defrag (aka eseutil.exe) is when you expect to regain a large amount of space after having moved and/or deleted a substantial number of mailboxes. Right William?
Exchange priv.edb IS a database, do your Oracle DBA's defrag their databases on a regular basis? You should not run off-line defrags on a regular basis.
Okay, I do have a question about the lovely little event ID 1221. I get about 8-10 of them every night from just before midnight to around 6AM, they almost all report the same amount of free space available except for one which will show a significantly larger amount. For example, today's logs 9 of them show 19 MB free space, one of the shows 378 MB free space. What's the REAL figure? Just wondering :S

Absolutely.
Now, the overall file size will not change. If a large amount of data is moved, there will be whitespace within priv.edb ready for reuse and the data will still be nicely and neatly defragged each night.
Check the application event logs, which you do every morning anyway, right? You will find the maintenance results, including 1221 disclosing the amount of whitespace.
It's a beautiful thing.

Since it is a bright relational database, it runs an online maintenance
process nightly by default that defrags the contents of the databases.
It takes care of itself.William

Subject: Compacting
Friends and astute members of the exchange list. Please forgive such
basic questions but I am new to exchange. (came from lotus
notes) Since
exchange is essentially a database, I would assume this database gets
fragmented. Is there a tool that can be used to "unfragment"?
