Hi SalvaCar, There are several tools for you to check the Active Directory, Exchange Server and SQL Server. For the Active Directory database, you may use Active Directory Diagnostic Tool to maintain the AD database, including compacting the directory database, performing offline defragmentation of the AD database, relocating the Active Directory Database Files, returning Unused Disk Space from the Active Directory Database to the File System, etc. For more information, please refer to: Active Directory Diagnostic Tool (Ntdsutil.exe) http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/distrib/dsfl_utl_nzzw.mspx?mfr=true Compact the Directory DatabaseFfile (Offline Defragmentation) http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc794920.aspx Performing offline defragmentation of the Active Directory database http://support.microsoft.com/kb/232122/ Relocating the Active Directory Database Files http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc794895.aspx Returning Unused Disk Space from the Active Directory Database to the File System http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc816811.aspx For Exchange server, you may consider using Microsoft Exchange Server Best Practices Analyzer Tool (ExBPA), which is an automated health check and troubleshooting tool.

Hi!! Thanks for all information wing, you're a monster! ;-))Diskeeper regards, think is necessary on the servers?

Hi SalvaCar, Regards as Diskeeper, as the Exchange server and SQL server are disk I/O intensive, for the consideration of the performance on these servers, it is not recommended that you install the Diskeeper on these servers. As for domain controllers, they are important in the production environment, so you may consider running built-in Disk Defragmenter utility on Windows Server 2003 to perform a disk defragment during the non-business hour. For your reference, you may refer to the following TechNet online document for best practice of Disk Defragmenter. Best practices for Disk Defragmenter http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc737452.aspx Hope it helps.David Shen - MSFT
