asked on

Defragment Exchange Server 2007 drive ?

Hi People,

Is it necessary or not to defragment Exchange Server 2007 Database drive and the transaction log drive ? It is currently deployed as VM but the disk is using RDM Physical compatibility.

I wonder if it is beneficial or not needed as Exchange has its own defragmentation schedule.

Cheers,

AWT

Thanks People for the response,

I was under the impression that Exchange server would also require defragmentation in both Tx Log and DB space, but it seems it doesn't since it has its own maintenance job scheduled by default.
ok, so does the Defragmented Exchange Database shrink down the Mailbox DB used size ?

Yes
thanks Raghu. That is just what I needed to regain space in the old database drive.
