ive done the same type of defrag every few months..
the server seems to be running better after a defrag.
right now our backups dont run as fast as 100 GB per hour.. its one of the reasons im upgrading the tape drives.

100GB per hour huh?  So you saved what with that 5GB of reclaimed space?  Did you think about the extra load increased on the server having to resize the store since there is no whitespace?

Your new drive will only do 1GB per hour?

You backup your Exchange Server at 1GB per hour?

Amazing.
 
1) that you know enough about his server to assess such a time.
2) that you would stop email service for 2-3 hours to gain a mere 2GB.
 
Whatever works for you, I guess.

It should take you about 2-3 hours.
Our database is 27 GB in size and im going to defrag it this weekend.
I should be able to shrink it to about 25 GB

You don't need to run this utility. Exchange maintains itself - are you having problems that you believe will be resolved?

Greetings Knowledgeable Exchange Admins

Our Exch5.5/SP4 WNT4.0/SP6 information store is beefed up to 15.5GB.  I was planning to run the ESEUTIL to clean up the database.  I suspect there is a lot of space that can be reclaimed and by defragging the store things

*should* run more smoothly.  I have never done this so bravely I go forward, but not before asking for the sage advise of the list.

A couple of things I would like to know are:

1.      Approximately how long will it take?  The box is a Dell PE2400 dual
PIII-600 1GB-RAM.  I'm just looking for a ballpark so I can schedule the time.

2.      Are there any precautions, other than backups, I should take?

3.      Are there any known problems with the utility

Thanks in advance.

Dan Munley
