Defrag a server running ExchangeHi
I have a Win2k Server running Exchange 2003. All logical drives after analysis have indicated that they need defragging. Are they any issues to be wary of when defragging a server running Exchange 2003. Your responses will be greatly appreciated Regards On Tue, 9 Jun 2009 20:38:01 -0700, microsoft
