MaryAnn, I have it running on my Exchange server, since my exchange server is also a file server for all my users folders [1]. So I have it setup to ONLY defrag the harddrive that has the users folders, and I don't have any of the Exchange stuff using that harddrive. It's been setup like this for about 2 years and works fine. If exchange is the ONLY thing running on this machine, there is no need to defrag it with a 3rd party defragger.
[1] Yes, I know that = bad, but it is a PHB decision and as long as it works I have to leave it that way. -----Original Message----- From: Butler, Mary Ann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2001 12:28 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Exec Software Diskkeeper The guy that is responsible for our NT and W2K servers wants to install this on our exchange server. If it will corrupt something, I'd like to know so I can tell him that he can't install it. I know that the exchange databases do their own defrag and I never run eseutil because I've read so many e-mails from you guys saying not to unless PSS tells me to. I am running Exchange 5.5 V4 on NT 4 V6.0a.
