Good Pm,Just installed Exchange2000 on new AD Domain.Ran the prerequesites i.e forestprep on DC,Domainprep on member server.Have a funtioning messaging server.OS is installed on drive G:.By Default exchange DB is in G:\program files\exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv1.edb.In Exchange 5.5 the default location is rootdrive\exchsrvr\mdbdata\pri.edb.From the Bin directory I ran the defrag and compact utility.OK, but in Exch200 I am trying for Prep for Practise and unable to defrag.My approach is
1)Dismount the default mailbox store.
2)From Command prompt changed to
3)G:\program files\exchsrvr\bin
4)Executed eseutil /d G:\program files\exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv1.edb
Receive jett error File not found.Included program files in Quotes same.When Relocated DBor created another Storage group w/Mailbox store.Assigned a Different DB @ root Level,Utility is Functional.Can Someone point to where my parameter is wrong.Thanx so much

Run the eseutil from a batch file and place the location of the edb in quotes :

eseutil /d "G:\program files\exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv1.edb"

Hope this helps

Thanx a ton.Just did not occur to me to place the entire directory in Quotes.In my case just placed the quotes,thus eseutil /d g:\"program files"\exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv1.edb.That is why the script was not executing.The script I used is working and isincluded.Since I am very NEW to scripting,CAN YOU INCLUDE YOUR SCRIPT BEFORE I CLOSE OUT THIS QUESTION andyou have deservedly POINTED TO THE ABSOLUTE cause,Thanx
@echo off
G:
cd "\program files\exchsrvr\bin"
eseutil /d "g:\program files\exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv1.edb"
