Can a Exchange 2003 Defragmentation be stopped?
I started a eseutil /d /t f:\tmpdfr.edb G:\Exchsrvr\Mdbdata\priv1.
The Exchange EDB resides on a SCSI drive, but the temp DB could only be used with an external IDE drive over USB.
It was started at 11:00am Eastern and has been running for 3 hours and only 3% has been completed. I now fear that this will run into tomorrows work day. The other issue is when users log on the server will reboot.
So I am hoping to stop the defrag and return to normal and start the defrag the coming Friday evening and hope that it finishes over the weekend and hopefully without rebooting.

Sorry for delay in getting back to you but yes this is correct.
I am assuming as you have accepted the answer you have now stopped the defrag and all is OK?

I want to reiterate what you said to make sure I am understanding you correctly. Since I am running defrag to a temp EDB stopping it will only affect the temp EDB not the original EDB. Is that correct?
