Running ESEUTIL on another server
Is it possible to run the eseutil.exe tool on a different server from the Exchange server?
My Exchange 2000 server does not have the prerequisite 110% available space. It has maybe 25%. However, my file server has plenty.
If yes, then what are the recommended steps to run eseutil from another server?

Hello,
All you have to do is copy four dll's "Eseutil.exe, Ese.dll, Jcb.dll, Exosal.dll, and Exchmem.dll " from exchange 2000 CD
Steps are mentioned below:-
1. Create a scratch folder on the computer that does not have Exchange 2000 installed on that computer.
2. Copy the Eseutil.exe, Ese.dll, Jcb.dll, Exosal.dll, and Exchmem.dll files from the Exchange 2000 server's Drive:\Exchsrvr\Bin folder to the scratch folder.
3. Open a command prompt, and change directory to the scratch folder that contains the Eseutil.exe and Ese.dll files.
4. Run eseutil from this folder against any databases copied over from the Exchange 2000 computer.
Thanks

ksharma4,
Two questions:
1) When you say "...databases copied over from the Exchange 2000 computer", do you mean that I should copy both the .edb and .stm files?
2) When eseutil is finished on server #2, do I need to manually move the compacted db's back to Server #1; thus, replacing the original db's?
