Exchange 2003 Enterprise Defrag
Hi,
I would be grateful if anyone can point me in right direction.
I have Exchange 2003 Enterprise running on Windows 2003 Server and want to defrag the database.
The Exchange is installed on the default path C drive and the exchange database (Priv1.edb and Pub.edb) stored on the D drive.
When I started the defrag I used the following command:
C:\Program files\Exchsrvr\bin> eseutil /d D:\exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv1.
The defrag started and the dot started to move along as normal but after few hours I got an error message re the space on the C drive so I started the defrag again on the D drive where there’s plenty of space over 110% and specified the temporary file location for temp database and temp streaming file with the following command:
C:\Program files\Exchsrvr\bin> eseutil /d C:\exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv1.
few seconds later I got an error message
C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\bin>ESEUTIL

Could be an issue with the IOPs on the data drive. As a test get a usb drive and try to point the temp file to it.

Hello Alan,
Thanks for your response, just to clarify, the databases are on the D drive. When i first tried to defrag it the temp files were being generated on the c drive and had the notification of the low disk space so i ran the defrag again and used the switch to create the temp files on the D drive and that's when i got that error message.

As per your question:
When I started the defrag I used the following command:
C:\Program files\Exchsrvr\bin> eseutil /d D:\exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv1.e
..... so I started the defrag again on the D drive where there’s plenty of space over 110% and specified the temporary file location for temp database and temp streaming file with the following command:
C:\Program files\Exchsrvr\bin> eseutil /d C:\exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv1.e
Hopefully just a typo - but if not - that would cause you problems.

Alan,
sorry the first defrag i rang i used the following command. (without speficing the temp location)
C:\Program files\Exchsrvr\bin> eseutil /d D:\exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv1.
using this command it created the temp files into the c drive.
I then ran the defrag again using the switch to specify the temp location for the database (d drive), using the command below:
C:\Program files\Exchsrvr\bin> eseutil /d C:\exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv1.
this is where o got the error message. i hope this makes sense and clear from my original question.

Exactly - you specified the location of the database on the D: drive the first time and the C: drive the second time.
That could be the entire cause of your problem.
Look at the commands you have typed and the location of the database in both lines - you have pointed eseutil to a different location in the second command and if the database is on the D: drive, then you are telling eseutil to look on the C: for the database and to put the temp files on the D: drive - that is incorrect.

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions.
Is the database on C: or D: ?
Command if the database is on D: should be:
eseutil /d d:\exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv1.
Try that and see if it works happily.
