Can I copy the database to another machine, and run ESEUTIL on that machine?  Can I just copy the utility or do I need to install exchange on this other machine?

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
