With Exchange 2007 and older versions, one of the key elements that an Exchange administrator needed to keep an eye on, and caused confusion for newcomers to Exchange was the amount of white space in the database. (more…)
Ive seen in the past that its a normal practice of Exchange admins to perform offline defrag aka eseutil /d on exchange databases.
But, is it really worth the time taken and downtime planned ?? (more…)
Online defragmentation is an automated defragmentation process as a part of its scheduled maintenance which we specify on a mailbox store level in ESM where the actual database size remains the same wherein Offline defragmentation is the process we use to shrink the database size removing white spaces using the eseutil /d switch.
