XADM: How to Run an Offline Defragmentation on a Database While Other Databases Are Running

 * }

Q241704

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server

-

SUMMARY
When you try to run an offline defragmentation by using the eseutil /d command on a database where other databases are mounted and running, the defragmentation does not work. Eseutil tries to create a temporary database in the folder where one is already active.

MORE INFORMATION
To work around this behavior, you can perform either of the following actions:


 * Run eseutil from another folder, and specify a remote path to the folder where the database that you want to defragment exists.
 * Dismount all databases within the target database's Storage Group.
