Exchange defrag online is not as effective as running defrag offline. He is telling you that you will see limited results if you don't run the defrag offline. You are only screwed if you don't run a defrag at all. -----Original Message----- From: Berger, Gunnar [mailto:GBerger@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2003 11:33 AM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Re: Exchange your telling me that I'm pretty much screwed because Exchange is wasting my HD and this defrag is going to do a bad job?

Now all my users have gone through and I can tell that there mailbox sizes are a lot smaller. However my harddrive space on the server has not changed. Is there anyway to get the server to realize that there is room free.
