First, some misconceptions here: An off line defrag is not going to take you 8 hours. I just got done doing an offline defrag on a store that was well over 40gb and it took about 4 hours to complete. This did not include the time I took, to copy the store to another server, for my safe keeping.
We do them about once a year, this year, the database went from 40+ gb to 19 gb, so I think the proof is in the puddin' :) Sirius -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kim Schotanus Sent: Friday, October 03, 2003 8:56 AM To: Exchange Discussions How often do you guys do an offline defrag? Being offline for 8 hours is not really feasible here... -----Original Message----- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: vrijdag 3 oktober 2003 14:52 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: priv1 Friggin Lyris DIR = Deleted Item Retention -----Original Message----- From: Kim Schotanus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 03, 2003 5:31 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: priv1 DIR Kind regards, Kim Schotanus =========================== Kim Schotanus Information Systems Manager INTAS Avenue des Arts 58 B-1000 Brussels Belgium T. +32 2 549 01 11 F. +32 2 549 01 56 =========================== -----Original Message----- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: vrijdag 3 oktober 2003 14:28 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: priv1 Here is the deal. If DIR is on and your users dump a bunch of mail, the mail is still stuck in DIR. Therefore no white space is freed up. The priv will not shrink during an offline defrag. You will need to turn DIR off, let the system run its daily online maint, and then defrag the priv. -----Original Message----- From: Kim Schotanus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 03, 2003 5:25 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: priv1 I have checked the retention policy but is there no other way then an offline defrag, the defrag yesterday took about 8 hours Kind regards, Kim -----Original Message----- From: Scott Weston [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: vrijdag 3 oktober 2003 14:23 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: priv1 Check deleted items retention policy and run an offline defrag. -----Original Message----- From: Kim Schotanus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 03, 2003 5:49 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: priv1 Yesterday I had to run eseutil over a network (not advised but...) Is there a way to syncronise the priv1.edb with the current state of affairs? I have had users clean out a total of about 6GB but my priv1.edb remains the same size as before (13.3 EDB AND 1.5 STR)? kim _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
