Best Voter Comment:
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).
