Michael, there is an online process that performs this function by default on a nightly basis.
It is beneficial (note: not even necessary, only beneficial) when: - you move a large amount of data from the store - you delete a large amount of data from the store In other words, don't worry about it. Go back to the Christmas party. Relax.

The one that hit me hard, was the person that found out that doom was eminent - because of a specific error code, found in the Event Viewer regarding the Exchange Message Store. Is the Exchange Message Store supposed to be periodically defragged??? Are there ramifications, if the Message Store gets past a certain point of fragmentation? I am not trying to avoid any research, and be lazy on this topic - but all I need to know, is YES this is an important topic, and I better learn more about it FAST, or NO - it's just something good to do once in a while. Thanks in advance for any advice offered, Mike _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
