Defrag Exchange 2003 - Eseutil Jet error -1811
Hi,
I am getting the following error when I try to kick off an offline defrag usuing eseutil
**************************
C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\bin>eseutil
DATA\priv1.edb" /t e:temp.edb
Microsoft(R) Exchange Server Database Utilities
Version 6.5
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
Error: Access to source database 'C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\Exchsrvr\MD
v1.edb' failed with Jet error -1811.
Operation terminated with error -1811 (JET_errFileNotFound, File not found) af
r 0.32 seconds.
**************************
the steps I have completed so far are:
1. Dismounted the Info Store
2. Connected an external hard drive to the server with enough space to run the defrag
3. I ran the defrag a couple of nights ago but had to stop the defrag as it took too long so I re-scheduled it for the weekend
4. It created two temp.edb and temp.stm files on the external hard drive - I deleted theses files today before I kicked of the defrag
5. When I kicked off the defrag I get the above error.
6. I have tried stopped all the exchange services and re-running the defrag but no joy
Any ideas?
Would this occur due to the fact I deleted the two temp.edb files from my initial running of the defrag where deleted?

Your path is wrong!
Please use the following command:
C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\bin>eseutil /d "C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\MDATA\priv1
You had the exchsrvr path twice, which I very much doubt is correct and the error you are getting is "I cannot find the file".

Thank you Alan - that worked - silly typo in the end ;)
How much space are you hoping to reclaim? What does the online defrag report in event viewer?
Are you currently able to mount the Exchange database?
I would run eseutil /k to check the integrity of your Exchange database first.
