mail.que defrag
So I have a 5 GB mail.que that is fragmented to heck and back. I don't have that much email volume that it queue's up that much...I believe this happened when the email archival system went fubar and it backed up a bazillion messages in the queue for part of a day. Instead of doing an offline defrag on it can I just stop the transport service on off hoursfirst making sure the queue is empty. Move the 8 files in the \queue folder out of the folder. Then restart the service and they will just recreate and I will be good to go? Google seems to think so, but collectively I think this list is far smarter and more careful than Google. --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist

RE: Exchange Defrag / VMWare / Windows Server 2003 / Exchange 2007

Re: Exchange Defrag / VMWare / Windows Server 2003 / Exchange 2007
It depends! I plan my offline defrags based on how much whitespace the
MBS have and on the free space there's the DB's disk.
Look at the Application logs for the event 1221. Here's a powershell
script I use to make things easier:
$StrServerName = (($Args[0]).ToString()).ToUpper()
$BackInTime =
[System.Management.ManagementDateTimeConverter]::ToDMTFDateTime((Get-Date).AddHours(-24))
$EventFilter = Logfile='Application' AND SourceName='MSExchangeIS
Mailbox Store' AND EventCode='1221' AND TimeWritten='$BackInTime'
gwmi -class Win32_NTLogEvent -namespace root/cimv2 -ComputerName
$StrServerName -Filter $EventFilter | select `
@{n=DateTime;e={{0} -f (([WMI]'').ConvertToDateTime($_.TimeWritten))}},`
@{n=SG_MBS;e={{0} -f ($_.InsertionStrings[1])}},`
@{n=WhiteSpace_MB;e={{0:N0} -f ([int32]$_.InsertionStrings[0])}} | ft -auto

Basic Defrag Question

My bad, I was actually referring to std vs enterprise but I forgot std version in 07 has 5 DB built in (I was on 03 std and that wasn't an option) , Providing of course he still only has 4 or less, I'm in catch up mode from being gone all week, the pile is over my head.

RE: MS Exchange 2007 Online defrag?
Actually the mailboxes WILL be offline during the move (a feature that 2010 fixes) but cached mode minimizes the impact. Be mindful that Exchange will only move 4 mailboxes at a time (but you can schedule as many as you want) so if you were actually watching the progress you'd see the rest listed as pending till one of the 4 threads completed. Also keep in mind that moving a mailbox separates it from the retained deleted items (one of the reasons the move gets you more space in the first place) so recovery of those files will be lost.

Re: MS Exchange 2007 Online defrag?
I overlooked that little tidbit just last weekend. Fortunately, my Exchange servers are on a SAN so I was able to allocate additional space to the Transaction Log partition in a matter of minutes. For those who can't dynamically grow partitions on the fly, I've seen recommendations that you place a few GBs of useless data on your Transaction Log partitions so that if you ever do fill them up, you can delete the data and hopefully buy yourself enough time to perform a full backup. - Sean On Mon, Nov 16, 2009 at 7:42 AM, John Cook john.c...@pfsf.org wrote: One more thing – moving mailboxes generates a crapload of log files so plan accordingly, that’s an often overlooked detail that can bring the server to a screeching halt once a drive fills up! *John W.

RE: defrag (UNCLASSIFIED)
Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE Good morning Jeff: I know this is going to draw more incoming fire than a convoy in indian territory out here, but here goes. I've used defraggers on my Exchange servers for quite a while now. Once the Exchange EDB and STM files become stable in PHYSICAL SIZE, it's safe to run the defragger. I've used PERFECTDISK for a number of years. The procedure I use is this; shut down and then disable the Exchange server services (normal maintenance cycle, scheduled outage, whatever), run an defrag of the system files (usually you have to set the system file defrag, then reboot the server). Allow the system files to defrag. Defrag the data drives where your EDB and STM files reside. Defragging your transaction log files is a waste of time since they will go away and be recreated the next time you do a full back up anyway. Once this is all done, re-enable your Exchange services and reboot the server. Everything should come up clean. Unless you move data files around to different directories or drives, you shouldn't have to defrag your data partition again as the physical size of the files will not change, just the ratio of used space to whitespace inside the database files.

Re: Why Offline Defrag = Bad
Not really an Exchange-guy these days, but lets see if I can recall: - An offline-defragmentation will not provide you the Exchange server performance increase you are anticipating. Offline-defragmentation is only useful to reclaim database whitespace, and should only be performed if the physical database size is nearing or has exceeded the amount of free disk space for which to adequately perform a database restoration process, so that any internal whitespace can be reclaimed as free disk space. Online-defragmentation otherwise provides internal defragmentation without altering overall database file size. Unused database space is managed internally as whitespace available for new data to be written to without also having to expand the physically database size in the process. - But hey, you and Michael are the gurus! -- ME2 On Wed, Apr 22, 2009 at 12:40 PM, KevinM kev...@wlkmmas.org wrote: Before I go out and write one again.

RE: Defrag old 2003 Stores
I have another suggestion that I feel works better as we have moved lots of users and used it after a large migration. After your Store retention time has elapsed, and the stores are empty, simply dialtone the old exchange stores. You can dialtone the stores by dismounting all the stores in the applicable Storage groups, removing all the store files and log files and then mounting the store again. White space all gone, a new store is there and no work! Dialtoning is a Microsoft Supported procedure, check it out on google!

There isn't enough space on the log/system drive either (we just have the two drives). Is there another way to do this? Is it recommended? Our store (we have just one) is about 40 GB, with a STM file of 26 GB (approx). I tried to google it, but nothing came up. Maybe because I'm tired at the end of the day. I'd appreciate any help I can get. Thanks.

If disk space is a problem, and you want to get some back, are you forcing archiving somewhere or mailbox cleanup policy (in order to get white space so the information stores will shrink some when your offline defrag is run)? Aren't you going to run into the same problem again soon? Better to solve the problem rather than chase the symptoms.

Offline Defrag of Exchange store, but disk space is limited
Hi folks, We just recently cleared out a bunch of old accounts from Exchange, and would like to do an offline defrag, but we don't have enough disk space where the store is kept to do the defrag. There isn't enough space on the log/system drive either (we just have the two drives). Is there another way to do this? Is it recommended? Our store (we have just one) is about 40 GB, with a STM file of 26 GB (approx). I tried to google it, but nothing came up. Maybe because I'm tired at the end of the day. I'd appreciate any help I can get. Thanks.

One of the eseutil switches allows for a network drive for the temp database file, but bandwidth limitations will probably make this task considerably longer to perform.

Re: defrag error
17 gigs and your stm should only take about 20 minutes or so. I only use the command line, sorry I should have said that first. xcopy seems to work the best for me. Windows has been known to bugger up a copy. Answering on the fly, sorry. When you create the partition and format make sure that you set it to not be able to compress folders and files. This is bad Juju for exchange. On large files Windows has a bad habit of compressing files weather you want it to or not. You will need to go in to the advanced properties of the file after copy to make sure this hasn't happened, just make sure all boxes are unchecked. Best is to totaly blow the drive away and start from scratch and set up the drive correctly. That may be what's buggering you eseutil. Sorry, answering on the fly. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2008 1:53 PM Subject: RE: defrag error Thanks Matt ;) From: Matt Moore [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2008 3:46 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: defrag error Naw just a little girlscout kiss... =) - Original Message - From: Tim Vander Kooi To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2008 1:44 PM Subject: RE: defrag error That's an awfully personal question.

It means that there isn't even enough disk space to mount the database. This is the ONE AND ONLY TIME I recommend compression in an Exchange environment.
