You can also simply copy the Information Store to another machine, run the offline defrag there, then copy then Information Store back.

Re: Exchange HELL
Add new Disk. Then move data. Change your view to see Admin. Groups. Better buy a book on Exchange at least too. Plenty of good ones out there that address these basic questions. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Exchange Discussions [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 23, 2002 11:49 AM Subject: Exchange HELL I was recently given the responsibility for an Exchange 2000 Server.

RE: Exchange HELL
First, install a single, temporary disk (10GB) in the server, for just long enough to move the databases to it, take the stores offline, and run an offline defrag. Then, move back to your production volume, and remove the temporary disk from the server. Then, explain to your manager that either they buy more storage, or you're going to have to implement STRICT quotas to keep from running out of space all over again. Or, like everyone else said - if the server's only got 5GB of disk space, you might want to think about finagling another server.

1. 2. Get a bigger disk and move the database files. Make sure you do it with the Exchange System Manager (ESM) 3.
