One thing you should look at is disk space. You must have as much free space as your database is rooming, because eseutil will create a new one, and then delete the original database, and then rename (or move) the tmp dabatase to the original directory.

Does anyone have any advice as this will be my first attempt at this and I would like it go as smooth as possible. I have read the stuff on Microsoft and in books on how to technically run the utility- but wondered if anyone had any real world advice on things I should be careful of or watch out for.
