Hello all. Yes, you can choose the drive where the temp file will be created. The free space you need to do defrag is actually the real internal space used in Information Store, not the whole database file. Look at event viewer to find out how much free space your information store rooms. Like Mark Dewell said, look for Event ID 1221 Source MSExchangeIS Private. It will show "The database has xxxx megabytes of free space after online defragmentation has terminated. If the remaining space is less than your free space (for instace you have 3.17Gb free disk space, and your database is 7.6Gb) If the event says "you have 5000Mb livre, it means you have a real priv.edb hosting only 2.6Gb, so you can do defrag because 2.6Gb is all you need (may be a little litlle bit more). Of course before everything make a full backup (Id say offline backup for sure in this case) > Dêniz Feital > GIC - Chiptek / Vésper > Tel (11) 3489-7730 > Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer > > > -----Original Message----- From: Mark Dewell [mailto:M.Dewell@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, September 13, 2002 6:17 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: ESEUTIL http://www.MSExchange.org/ The Ex2000 version of eseutil has an option to choose the names of the temporary files used when defragging, I would guess that this could be pointed to a different drive for the temp files. Might solve any problems with not having enough space to run a defrag. Before running a defrag, I would look at your event log for Event ID 1221's. These report how much free space is in each store and thus how much you are likely to get back by running a eseutil. > -----Original Message----- > From: Karsten Aarhus [mailto:kaa@xxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: 13 September 2002 09:44 > To: [ExchangeList] > Subject: [exchangelist] RE: ESEUTIL > > > http://www.MSExchange.org/ > > Hi Jeff, > > Our Exchange server has been running the last 2 years without > any problems > but we have never run the Eseutil on a offline database, as I > understand > Exchange doesn't remove all the delete mails and mailbox. > I have this idea that it could be nice to see if we would get > some free > space.
