I'm trying to defrag the "public folder" database file in my Exchange 2000. But I got the "no space left on disk" error. Here's the output: Initiating DEFRAGMENTATION mode... Database: d:\Exchsrvr\mdbdata\pub1.edb Streaming File: d:\Exchsrvr\mdbdata\pub1.STM Temp. Database: TEMPDFRG1620.EDB Temp. Streaming File: TEMPDFRG1620.STM Defragmentation Status (% complete) 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 |----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----| .. Operation terminated with error -1808 (JET_errDiskFull, No space left on disk) after 862.359 seconds. Have I corrupted my database file?? :( I don't understand, the database file and stream file for public folder are about 16GB while the disk (D: ) has about 35.5GB. That's more than 110% space needed to process defragmentation as stated in this article: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=192185 If my database file isn't corrupted (hopefully...), is there any trick to defrag it? Maybe the temp file is created in C: drive which is a lot smaller?

hi,you can set temp directory and file for it on enother disk look like below. eseutil /d /p "c:\program files\exchsrvr\mdbdata\mailbox store.edb" /t"d:\tempdfg.edb"and you can look at ;http://support.microsoft.com/kb/328804have a nice day...Exchange - MVP | www.cozumpark.com | www.mumincicek.com

Yes, thank you. I had realized/found that the temp folder is the folder in which the eseutil command is run.... that's really stupid from MS. What's even more stupid is that this is not explicitly written out in MS articles......
