Wicked word! It's 90 degrees (F) and 100% humidity here in central Virginia this morning. After my morning run I certainly did have to do that!

To the best of what I could tell, all it does is dismount the stores, run eseutil /d and then remount them. Nothing magical there. It's just doing all the work for you.

I was thinking about something like this the other day.

I have RAID 1 and RAID 5 arrays and have used Windows Defrag utility, but I am sure there is something better (and that can be scheduled to run after hours) I have an Exchange 2003 server that is showing 45% fragmented on D: (RAID 5 - also where the store is).
