Hi,

Can you post the exact command you ran to defrag the database. Normally the temp file is automatically moved back to the default location but you can disable instating which means that both the defrag version and the non-defrag version are preserved.

eseutil /d d:\exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv1.edb /ty:\tempdfg.edb

this is what i did as i dont have 110% space on the d drive

where do i run this command from ? to check the consistency i am already copy the the tempdfg.edg and stm to its original location and i have also rename them to priv1.edb but i am not replacing the original one.

what i did is i CUT the original files and copy them across to external drive and name them as .old and then rename the tempdfg.edb to priv1 and same for stm file and nwo i am copying it across to original location and then will mount the store..is this okay

You can run it form the Exchange server eseutil is the same utility you used for the defrag but the /mh option just checks the database consistency. I think you are going to be fine but the consistency check is just another thing to know before trying to mount the database. If its consistent then it should mount fine once its copied and renamed correctly.
