i have Server 2000 With Exchange 2003 Our Exchange database was increase to 70GB i need to do defragment to reducing the size how ever the HDD only have 5GB free spare how to do the defragment, can i put the temp file to external drive what command i need to use?

You use the command ESEUTIL /D. With the option /T you can place the temporary database on another drive. The free space must be at least 110 % of the database size, in your case 77 GB, but I would opt for a bit more.If you really want to take advantage of your offline defragmentation, make sure all users really delete unneeded mail from their mailboxes or move it to .PST files.Very important: Make sure this temporary location is excluded from your file-level antivirus scanning.How to defragment with the Eseutil utility (Eseutil.exe)http://support.microsoft.com/kb/192185 Defragmenting your Exchange Databasehttp://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Defragmenting-Exchange-Database.htmlMCTS: Messaging | MCSE: S+M | Small Business Specialist

And i still have STM File, how to reducing it?

When you run ESEUTIL /d against a database to defragment it, the streaming file associated with the database is automatically defragmented. This is the default behavior.How can I defragment Exchange 2000/2003 Server databases?http://www.petri.co.il/defragment_exchange_2000_2003_server_databases.htmMCTS: Messaging | MCSE: S+M | Small Business Specialist
