XADM: Offline Defragmentation Not Needed for the .stm File

 * }

Q238281

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server

-

SUMMARY
In Exchange 2000 Server, online defragmentation reduces the .stm file size so there is no need to run an offline defragmentation against it to reduce the file size.

MORE INFORMATION
Online defragmentation does not shrink the .edb file, so you must run an offline defragmentation, eseutil /d, against the .edb file to reduce its size.

For more information regarding defragmentation using the Eseutil.exe tool, please refer to the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
