I remember that. Mr Woodrick was pushing the envelope there. With the whitespace taken away, Exchange would have to take back diskspace as the database began to grow again. The resources required for that would likely not be noticeable. :o)
But of course he was correct.

I saved it, then lost it somehow. Maybe someone still has it. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Couch, Nate Sent: Friday, March 15, 2002 10:54 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: eseutil /d Try reading Jim McBee's book - Exchange 247. It talks about this very issue. Basically, it comes down to the view, from my reading, that "if it ain't broke - leave it alone". If you aren't seeing any errors in the Event logs that clue you into a problem with the databases don't go begging for trouble - you are likely to find it. All the best in your battle with your coworkers.
