You backup your Exchange Server at 1GB per hour?

Amazing.

 

1) that you know enough about his server to assess such a time.

2) that you would stop email service for 2-3 hours to gain a mere 2GB.

 

Whatever works for you, I guess.

It should take you about 2-3 hours.
Our database is 27 GB in size and im going to defrag it this weekend.
I should be able to shrink it to about 25 GB

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
