Well, it doesn't seem to matter if we schedule an online defrag or if we
just run one right then on the fly it only runs for a few minutes and then
stops and says it's terminating.  I didn't even see any errors in the
event log.  Is it actually running and doing anything?  I'm told that if
it were really doing anything it would run for an hour or more.  We've
been having problems with it running for a few months now.  We've called
Microsoft and they say we have a corrupted IS but we're not ready to
rebuild.  We're looking for a way to force an online defrag outside of
Exchange Admin from a command line prompt.  If we have to schedule that
first that's fine but we want to kick off ourselves.  Not sure if this is
possible.  Also we do not want to do an offline defrage eseutil/edbutil
because that will require taking the services down unless we absolutely
have to.  Is an offline our only recourse?  If there is corruption in the
database when you do an offline, will it delete those corrupt files?  If
so, data loss is expected in an offline.

Thanks,
