E2K Pro?? 

 

As for E5.5 Enterprise media, if you buy the E2K Enterprise media, the E5.5 Enterprise media is included for no extra cost.  At least it is from my vendor...

And incidentally, if you want to upgrade to Exchange 5.5 Enterprise, purchase Exchange 2000 Professional and you can purchase the Exchange 5.5 Enterprise media for about 25.00.  It's very easy to upgrade 5.5 standard to enterprise.  Just did it last week :)

thanks,  It is a 40GB Drive.  It will be a little tight but it should work.

Just make sure you have enough disk space free on the drive that the priv.edb is on, MS recommendation is 110%, so if your priv.edb is 15.5 GB you'll need to have about 16+ GB free space on that drive.  Otherwise, you'll have to run it across the network and that will slow your time down considerably.

I am concerned with the size of the of the PRIV.  It is 15.5GB now.  For the longest time it was about 10GB.  Recently, someone set a rule for OOF to forward their mail to a private home account.  The account was closed because the mailbox was full.  The returned mail bounced back about 10,000 times.  By the time it was noticed the store was already a bit chubby. Otherwise we aren't experiencing any problems.

You don't need to run this utility. Exchange maintains itself - are you having problems that you believe will be resolved?

Greetings Knowledgeable Exchange Admins

Our Exch5.5/SP4 WNT4.0/SP6 information store is beefed up to 15.5GB.  I was planning to run the ESEUTIL to clean up the database.  I suspect there is a lot of space that can be reclaimed and by defragging the store things

*should* run more smoothly.  I have never done this so bravely I go forward, but not before asking for the sage advise of the list.

A couple of things I would like to know are:

1.      Approximately how long will it take?  The box is a Dell PE2400 dual
PIII-600 1GB-RAM.  I'm just looking for a ballpark so I can schedule the time.

2.      Are there any precautions, other than backups, I should take?

3.      Are there any known problems with the utility

Thanks in advance.

Dan Munley
