Hi,
First, I would kike to suggest your friend to read about Exchange server
at: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodt
echnol/exchange/Default.asp
Shortly to your question:
1. In order to reduce the sizes of the log files in Exchange you must run an
online backup. 2. There is an online defragmentation in Exchange 2000 by
default. 3. You can change the location of the log files and the database
files.

Hello all,
Below is a message from a buddy of mine who is not an Exchange admin,
but has been put in charge of a datacenter that happens to run Exchange
2000. As a 5.5 admin, I would like to get someone else's opinion before
recommending a solution to him....
Thanks,
Chris
