Doesn't even take a write. A completely idle system generates a log flush every X minutes (I can't remember how often X is on Exchange 2003). But it's basically there to prove that the system hasn't died (this is much more important for clusters and heartbeats, but does apply to single systems too).

Any write to the Exchange database. I expect even an "empty" Exchange system will have background tasks recording their progress or state. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
