We want to defrag a couple of our stores the problem is we don't have the recommended 110 % of free disk space that Microsoft recommends. Is there any way to split the temporary file that is created during this entire process? Any suggestions on what we can do. Thanks in advance, Eric Sabo

I was thinking about doing this but it is not an option. We have three mailbox stores - I guess I could move everyone off one store then delete that store - move to the second one and move them to the newly created store then delete that store - move the other store to both of these stores. We deleted about 4,000 mailboxes off all three of the stores.

Wow. What is your event 1221 telling you for each store? You can certainly redirect the defrag, but depending on what you redirect too, could impact the performance significantly. http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2004/06/18/159413.aspx "Sabo, Eric" wrote in message news:C8681CDD-7AD1-4635-9482-22D6C7EB168B@microsoft.com... >I was thinking about doing this but it is not an option.
