Probably nothing needs to be done.  You don't see a completion event
that tells you the amount of white space?

Subject: RE: Any command line switches to run Online defrag?


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,
Karon Miller
