Well IIRC /p is a hard repair whilst /d is for defrag. If you have a working, mountable store that you want to defrag you don't need the /p switch.
Anyone got any comment? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Douglas M. Long Sent: 17 August 2005 18:13 To: [email protected] Subject: [ActiveDir] OT:Exchange 2003 SP1 bloat OK, so I have scheduled a window this weekend to run an offline defrag of the mailbox store. Now I am looking for the best way to do this, and since this list seems to have more/better experience with Exchange than the Exchange list, I am looking for comments. Here are the steps I am planning on taking: 1. Full backup of "General" store 2. Dismount "General" store 3. > eseutil /d /p F:\Exchsrvr\mdbdata\General.edb *Is it a good idea to use the /p switch (I have enough space) **If using the /p switch, what is the mounting procedure for the new DB? 4. Full backup of new DB Any comments are very welcome, and appreciated.
