Exactly. The only legitimate reason to defrag the store is after the removal of a large number of mailboxes which cumulatively represent a significant debit of space. The qualifications in that statement are necessary: folks get such a hard-on to defrag their stores, it seems. Moving the occasional mailbox, however large, does not warrant the inconvenience and risk of running eseutil.

Finally! look up eseutil and read the documentation. Make sure you have good backups before you start. Exchange will do some of this automatically -- but it won't reduce the size of the store. -- Drew ******************************** Visit http://www.drewncapris.net! Go! Go there now!

As a result of this, the old mail server has tons of empty space and needs to be defragged. IS this something normal to do? Or is there any other to accomplish the same thing?
