Eseutil is evil at best. Before returning to consulting recently I used to run 
the operations team for an Exchange focused Managed Service Provider and using 
eseutil when there was any other option at all was a firing offense. I never 
actually had to fire anyone after it was explained to them exactly what eseutil 
and isinteg do, and how spectacularly things could break...

Thanks,

Good, glad to see you say that Jeremy eseutil is bad.  I think that your train 
of thought there is a good one, you've moved the mailboxes to another database, 
so why keep a empty, and possibly corrupted database, get rid of it.

Yeah, but I go out of my way to avoid using either of those tools so I didn't 
elaborate. Bad Things can happen when they're used. If all the mailboxes are 
off the database then what use is keeping it around?



Thanks,

Time for a new consultant. Eseutil /d won't do anything with corruption.

My consultant says no::



"Not quite ....



First, if you don't need it, just delete it ... (make sure you have a backup)

If you want to keep it, just dismount and defrag it (I believe it's eseutil /d)"

I think I just found the answer, dismount, delete the file, mount and it will 
be recreated, correct?

Exchange 2007, I had some potential corruption issues in the above database, I 
have since created a new Mailbox Data Three and moved all users to this Store.

Can I simply dismount it, remove it  and delete it from disk or are there other 
considerations?



Can I recreated it again as an empty data base, with the same name or is that a 
bad idea?
