Hellos. Anyone have any recommendations for an online defrag utility for the MS Exchange message store? We have a server with a 100GB message store that we would like to run against. Thanks. CAR This e-Mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential

You'd be better served to move the mailboxes to a new DB providing you have that capability, Exchange version would be good to know John W. Cook Systems Administrator Partnership For Strong Families 315 SE 2nd Ave Gainesville, Fl 32601 Office (352) 393-2741 x320 Cell (352) 215-6944 Fax

Ah yes, but the OP asked for an online defrag utility, for which I recommend...Exchange itself! The Exchange online maintenance process does just fine. ;) If it was for an offline defrag utility, I'd agree with you. J From: Kennedy, Jim [mailto:kennedy...@elyriaschools.org] Sent: 16

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. The only caveat is the

+1 for the mailbox move, as per John's and Jim's replies. And here's why: the Microsoft Exchange team recommend this action... http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2004/07/08/177574.aspx http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2004/07/08/177574.aspxEnjoy! Andrew 2009/11/16 Cesare' A. Ramos

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

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. Cook Systems Administrator Partnership For Strong Families 315 SE 2nd Ave Gainesville, Fl

If you use the shell, you can move up to 30 mailboxes simultaneously, although I suspect that with the full 30 the bottleneck will be elsewhere. Good that you pointed out the dumpster contents issue after a move-mailbox operation though - often overlooked. From: John Cook

Yes, you can do it that way but ultimately it's the MaxThreads parameter of the Move-Mailbox cmdlet that controls this. IIRC, if you don't set the MaxThreads parameter, it'll still default to 4. From: John Cook [mailto:john.c...@pfsf.org] Sent: 16 November 2009 17:05 To: MS-Exchange Admin

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
