Hello all, I'm about to run a defrag and integrity on our Exchange 5.5 stores. It's been longer than I'm comfortable with (over 8 months) and I now must store the temp files on another server due to space limitations on the Exchange server. Considering this and the fact that the priv stores has grown to around 6gb, I really need to automate this process.
I've created the following batch file and I'd appreciate it if you folks can pick it apart, if necessary. Thus far, it is untested. Question: Shall I run an integrity check before the defrag or is the soft recovery (part of the defrag process) enough? Finally, I'd like to record what occurs during the defrag and integrity checks; how might I accomplish this? I don't want to pipe the screen output to a file because the screen will be left blank. rem *** Stop appropriate services in order... net stop MSExchangeIMC net stop MSExchangeMSMI net stop MSExchangeMTA net stop MSExchangeIS net stop MSExchangeDS net stop MSExchangeSA rem rem *** Backup to max server time /t >h:\new\start.txt date /t >>h:\new\start.txt copy e:\exchsrvr\dsadata\dir.edb h:\new\dir_b.edb copy e:\exchsrvr\mdbdata\pub.edb h:\new\pub_b.edb copy d:\exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv.edb h:\new\priv_b.edb time /t >h:\new\end.txt date /t >>h:\new\end.txt rem net start MSExchangeSA rem net start MSExchangeDS - do not start because of defrag operation rem net start MSExchangeIS net start MSExchangeMTA net start MSExchangeMSMI net start MSExchangeIMC rem rem Defrag - N volume = Library-03 server c:\winnt\system32\eseutil /d E:\exchsrvr\DSADATA\dir.edb /tN:\Exchange\dir_d.edb c:\winnt\system32\eseutil /d E:\exchsrvr\MDBDATA\pub.edb /tN:\Exchange\pub_d.edb c:\winnt\system32\eseutil /d D:\exchsrvr\MDBDATA\priv.edb /tN:\Exchange\priv_d.edb rem rem Integrity check - N volume = Library-03 server c:\winnt\system32\eseutil /g /ds /x /tN:\Exchange\dir_i.edb c:\winnt\system32\eseutil /g /ispub /x /tN:\Exchange\pub_i.edb c:\winnt\system32\eseutil /g /ispriv /x /tN:\Exchange\priv_i.edb rem pause rem rem *** Start appropriate services in order... rem pause temporary stop rem net start MSExchangeSA net start MSExchangeDS net start MSExchangeIS net start MSExchangeMTA net start MSExchangeMSMI net start MSExchangeIMC exit Best regards, Shawn ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- Dipix Technologies Inc. - www.dipix.com Shawn Connelly, Network Engineer, Web Designer ============================================================================ This email was scanned and certified as free from any known malicious data but understand that any files attached and opened by you are at your own risk!
