Why shouldn’t I use ESEutil /d repetitively on its own?
We have spoken to many clients that have repetitively
run a simple ESEutil /d on their databases to alleviate defragmentation;
unfortunately their database performance over time has degraded and in some
cases failed all together.
The problem is that ESEutil /d will defragment
your database, but it
doesn't check or address issues that may exist within
the mail data itself and
it won't fix the links between tables
of an ESE database. ESEutil's job is to examine the individual pages,
check them for correctness by comparing a computed checksum against a
checksum stored in the page header, and verify that each page's data is
consistent.
If you are currently
running ESEutil /d on its own we highly recommend that you do one of two
things.
- Research and gain in depth understanding of the Microsoft Exchange tools
and then test, test, test your process before ever running it against a
production database, or
- Purchase GOexchange. We have done
this hundreds if not thousands of times to create a consistent reliable
expert maintenance tool. GOexchange runs a complete maintenance
process against each database not just a defragmentation. In addition, GOexchange evaluates other critical items within the Exchange system and makes
adjustments if necessary to ensure its in optimal operating
condition.
