Here is exactly what it did: Event Type: Information Event Source: PD91Exchange Event Category: None Event ID: 0 Date: 7/31/2008 Time: 8:51:00 AM User: N/A Computer: EX2003Lab Description: Running command ""C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\bin\eseutil.exe" /D "S:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\mdbdata\pub1.edb" /s"S:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\mdbdata\pub1.stm" /t"C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\TEMPDFRG.EDB" /o" So like I said, it's an eseutil gui with a scheduler.

To the best of what I could tell, all it does is dismount the stores, run eseutil /d and then remount them. Nothing magical there. Its just doing all the work for you. From: David L Herrick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2008 6:26 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Defrag servers It does have an additional module if you want to use it to defrag the store not sure about SQL and not aware of any defragger that handles open files PD out of the box will try repeatedly to get the open files eventually skipping them We dont use the Exchange addon and dont defrag the raid that exchange is on From: Bob Fronk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 30, 2008 10:44 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Defrag servers How does this program handle open files, SQL and Exchange? I was thinking about something like this the other day. (I have received junk mail from the vendor, but have not looked at it, but seeing this thread makes me wonder) Bob Fronk [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: David L Herrick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 30, 2008 1:20 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Defrag servers +1 From: David Lum [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 30, 2008 10:10 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Defrag servers PerfectDisk from Raxco (www.raxco.com). Centrally managed defrag. For smaller shops I just use the free tool DIRMS (www.dirms.com) and throw it in the scheduler.

I have RAID 1 and RAID 5 arrays and have used Windows Defrag utility, but I am sure there is something better (and that can be scheduled to run after hours) I have an Exchange 2003 server that is showing 45% fragmented on D: (RAID 5 - also where the store is).
