Back in the days of Exchange 5.5, we
struggled with bloated stores and were
forced to come in on weekends and do
defrags. I have to admit that I focused on
the store size and didnâ??t pay attention to
errors and warnings and worked another
weekend to defrag my stores and caused
a major corruption. After working with
Redmond support I was able to get things
live. Then I discovered GOexchange a few
years ago before we migrated to Exchange
2003 and now I never worry. Every time
we run the product it comes back with
new problems that it corrected. I swear by
this tool. The support department is awesome
too, not outsourced, and theyâ??ll help
you get things resolved.

Iâ??ve been with SMS since 1.2 days (boy,
was that hard at times), and am glad that
Microsoft finally decided with 2003 that
they were going to not only continue the
lineage but actually spend some time and
resources improving the product. Itâ??s finally
reached the stage where we keep wanting
more from the product rather than just
asking for it to work as promised, so the
maturing has come with age (hey, it only
took a dozen years).
