I am not trying to imply that there is
something wrong with your practice, so don’t take offence. But, what is
the correlation between violations and defrag? I am trying to understand what
the defrag is supposed to do, post-violation. Deji From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Burkes, Jeremy [Contractor] The issues that I am referring to are
security violations which are instances where someone as violated the proper
handling of data. The Navy, Department of Defense requires that we defrag
the exchange information store. Moving user mailboxes is not an option.
The reason I am creating this script is I have been all the departments in
separate information stores. I am hoping that when one of these
violations occur I can just dismount that departments store, defrag, then mount
again. This will allow me to keep every other department up and
running. Currently we stop all Exchange services, defrag the one store,
then start the Exchange services effectively bringing everyone on that server
down. Jeremy From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mulnick, Al Figured the Navy was still part of the
government :) I asked the question because the only time
I would *ever* want to defrag a db in Exchange 200x is because I was forced
to. Otherwise, I would prefer to move the user mailstores to an alternate
db on the same server instead. It would be a) safer and b) faster and c)
just generally a better idea than defragging a db in place and taking those
kinds of chances. It's not like 5.5 when you had only one store
instance. You can move the user mail stores around almost at will (as
long as they're not logged on of course) and clients don't even have to update
at this point. They'll get the new (be default defragged) db, and you'll
have made the problem that drove you there go away. I'm interested in "issues" that
would cause you to want to defrag as I just plain don't understand at this
point and hate to offer advice without full understanding of the possible
ramifications and issues that may be present. I think Marcus posted some useful coding
techniques that should help you recapture the command line information.
>From there you should be able to push it to a log file, which I think is what
you were after in the first place (vs. piping it from the command line to the
text file). Al From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Burkes, Jeremy [Contractor] I work for the government and we have to
run offline defrags after hours for issues that arise. In the past we
just had a batch file that stopped all exchange services on a machine and then
ran the offline defrag then restarted the services. We want to streamline
the process. Jeremy From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mulnick, Al Before getting to a better idea to
automate, I have to ask is this something to automate? What drives you to want to automate the
off-line defragmentation in Exchange 2000 and what makes you want to do that in
the first place? Al From:
