How we can confirm that defragmentation is going on?? The defragmentation event ids are in the 7xx range and have an event source of "ese". Check the property page of the database and verify that the "Maintenance interval" on the "Database" tab isn't set to run at the same time as your backup. The 1221 event just tels you the amount of free space in the database. However, if the on-line maintenance isn't running you won't see that event. Check to see if the System Attendant service is running, too. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

We have exchange 2003 sp2. Last week onwards, when we check on event viewer, defragmentation id 1221 for our database is not showing. How we can confirm that defragmentation is going on??
