Hi, I'm trying to write a small program using c++ which will validate the exchange database and logs using eseutil. What is the best way to achieve this? Either I can go for creating a thread for each database to run eseutil or create a process? Running eseutil against database takes long time for checksum validation. Can I go for launching concurrent thread/process? so that validation will be faster. Also what other factors (like number of processor, processor speed,...)need to be considered in creating multiple threads/process ? Any suggestions plz..... Thanks Inmar

Thanks Inmar Don't run more than one eseutil at a time. Seriously. Each of theinstances will try to use the same set of temporary files. You won'tbe happy.I guess I'd also ask why you feel it's necessary to do this? Are youexperiencing a problem with the databases?---Rich MatheisenMCSE+I, Exchange MVP--- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP
