Well, it is a choice, I have not tried it, but are there changes in degragmentation in SP4?
It should be aprox 75% of unused space in PRIV.EDB, and I have always heard that this file always grows up, and that the unique thing I can do is stopping Exchange and defragging with ESEUTIL. Maybe I have a chance to upgrade to SP4, and try again. If so, and it still does not work I will came again. Saludos, Alfonso Belloso SAREIN SISTEMAS, S.L.

Take your hands off the keyboard and step away from the server. PS, why no SP4? -----Original Message----- From: Tom Meunier [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 7:43 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Exchange 5.5 SP3 does not defrag PRIV.EDB Friggin' Lyris. Friggin' delete ESEUTIL from your hard drive, and don't use it until MS Product Support Services tells you to. White space is no big deal. Why do you care if you have 10mb of white space in your 100mb store, vs. a 90 mb store that will only grow to 100mb in two days anyway? Or am I misunderstanding what you're talking about here? -----Original Message----- From: Alfonso Belloso [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Posted At: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 12:22 PM Posted To: MSExchange Mailing List Conversation: Exchange 5.5 SP3 does not defrag PRIV.EDB Subject: Exchange 5.5 SP3 does not defrag PRIV.EDB Hi! I have an Exchange 5.5 SP3 with a PRIV.EDB of about 4Gb. When I make a defrag with ESEUTIL /d <PATH>\PRIV.EDB, I can only reduce the PRIV.EDB in about 150Mb. It could be normal if none of the 90 users would have Personal Folders, but just 20 of them access directly to their mailbox, and those mailboxes are 5Mb size each. The 70 remaining mailboxes have very reduced size, so in total I could accept a PRIV.EDB of around 500Mb, or even 1Gb, but 4Gb (minus 150Mb now) is too much and there should be a lot of free space that I cannot defragment. Could someone tell me what could be happening or what more should I do? Regards, Alfonso Belloso SAREIN SISTEMAS, S.L.
