Title: RE: Information Store Maintenance I ran it on two different servers that had been running for 3 years.  Each IS was around 32 GB.  It took about 3 hours and was 5 GB when it was finished.  The biggest improvement was that the backup didn’t use 32GB of space on the tapes every night.

But the nightly defrag doesn't reclaim wasted space and shrink the database. Only an offline defrag will do that and if he has the Standard version then it would be wise to do it before he his the 16GB limit. George -Original Message- From: William Lefkovics [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Se

I don't believe so. Server Name and Domain Accounts (SIDs) are part of it's site configuration. Without it the IS won't start. For an offline disaster recovery you need an offline PDC with current SAM and Server with same name. George Morse Nordson Corporation email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -O

Both. Another path for the upgrade, provided that you have a spare piece of hardware, would be to build up another Exchange Server in that site an migrate all the mailboxes and public folders. This would require no down time and be far less risky. George Morse Nordson Corporation IT - Sr. Netwo

After the 2K upgrade the Exchange 55 IS won't start. It will ask for a DEFRAG. You will need to do this to get the IS started again. Be sure to have enough disk space for the process. You can use a mapped network drive for the temporary location. That is about the only big one. Also it shoul
