Re: Defragment Exchange 2000/2003/2007


Personally I never worry about whitepace until it hits 20GB +.

It's worth noting if you have a single exchange server then 20GB of
whitespace maybe twice the size of actual mailbox data - which again is why
I stated your mileage may vary.

I tend to scope my stores to 80GB and all databases reside on a SAN with
snapshotting, and the way my employer utilizes Exchange makes 20GB of
whitepace very acceptable.

If you respond with your Exchange version and what whitespace is actually
being reported in your 1221 events, and any further information - like
whether you're running out of diskspace, then that would help.
