Thanks. &nbsp;The information needed was in the Event Log.<br />
It did appear that the process repeated itself if the schedule permitted.<br />
Our DB maintenance appears to take 1.5 to 2hrs. &nbsp;Cheers - JD

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
We have one exchange store with ~185 mailboxes.<br />
I currently have the database maintenance interval scheduled for 3-plus hours each night; avoiding backups and other processes.<br />
Could I trim this back a bit?<br />
If it needs 1hr, and I have it scheduled for 6 does it run over and over or only as needed?<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;Thanks in advance - JD
