Exchange 5.5 ESEUTIL Defrag
I have a windows 2000 server with exchange 5.5.
Exchange is installed on C:\
The priv and pub edb files are stored on D:\
priv.edb - 8.5gig
pub.edb - 1gig
The C drive is a 8gig partition with 5gig free space
The D drive is a 16gig partition with 7gig free space
I have a E drive it has 100gig free space.
My question is what is the syntax to run the ESEUTIL command to defrag the priv and pub edb files.
I have looked it up and not sure how to do it.

CMILLER,
also, running just "eseutil /?" will bring up a whole list of switches and explanations as to what they do
For instance, you have the space to add "/bD:\oldedb" to the command - this will store an untouched copy of the database (good idea)

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
The /T switch above causes ESEUTIL to create the tempfile on the E drive.
To defrag the PUB substitute /ISPUB instead of ISPRIV

Thanks, Exchange Admin
That is what I needed to know.
When I run the command what drive do I need to be in?
Ex:
E:\>ESEUTIL /D /ISPRIV /TE:\EXCHDEFRAG\TEMPDFG.ED B

It doesn't really matter but I usually change to the drive where the tempdfg file will be place provided this is a local drive and not a network drive.
But I really don't think it matters when using the /T switch.

That has a lot of information on how to run ESEUTIL
eseutil /d /ispub
eseutil /d /ispriv
those commands will defrag the databases for you
Hope that helps,
