Which files I need to copy from Exchange Server 2003 to run Eseutil /Y?
I want to run Eseutil /Y to copy file across network on a non-Exchange server machine. Which files I need to copy from Exchange Server 2003 to that machine? Thanks.

Hi What are your intensions? You can copy the edb or log files. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996409(EXCHG.80).aspx Sukh

I want to use Eseutil /Y instead of copy or xcopy to copy file across network on machines which are not Windows 7 nor Windows Server 2008 R2.

@pcsql66 - I assume you want to copy the Exchange database or log files to the destination? If so, copying these files across alone wont make Exchange avaliable on the destination. Once you have copied the files across, what do you want to do with them? Sukh

No. I want to copy large file not Exchange related files across network.

@pcsql66 - I would use xcopy or probably robocopy to do this. I wouldn't use eseutil, this is really for Exchange maintenance. Why do you want to use eseutil? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc733145(WS.10).aspx Sukh

Hi, The ability of Eseutil to copy large files is a new capability introduced in Exchange Server 2003 that has been imported from ESEFile. The copy file mode is optimized to copy very large files efficiently. You can use the switch to copy a database, streaming file, or log file. However, the mode is not suited as a general purpose copy utility. Since you don’t want to copy large file not Exchange related files across network, you should not use Eseutil/Y. You can use Xcopy or Robocopy to copy the files you want. Hope this helps.
