Hi,

Is it safe to use Windows 2003 Disk Defragmenter utility to defrag the
Exchange 2003 database and logs partition? I remember reading a Microsoft
article saying that it isn't safe but it may have been for older version of
Exchange on the other hand I remember reading posts that said it is safe...
If the native disk defragmenter isn't safe, what about the Diskeeper
version?

Thank you in advance for your comments!
