You can copy Exchange server 2003’s ESEUTIL to another machine, along with the database to run. First, create a temporary folder on the computer that you want to run the defrag on. Then, copy the eseutil.exe, ese.dll, jcb.dll, exosal.dll, and exchmem.dll files from the Exchange 2003 computer’s Exchsrvr\Bin folder to the temporary folder, along with the database and streaming files. At a command prompt, change the directory to the temporary directory folder you created and copied the files to. Finally, run the Eseutil command from this folder against any databases that you copied from the Exchange 2003 computer.

Exchange 2003 SP2 raises the maximum database size for the standard edition from 16GB to 75GB. By default, the size is increased to 18GB when you install the service pack, however you can raise this limit by modifying the registry, as follows:
1. Start the registry editor (regedit.exe) on the Exchange server.
2. Navigate to the HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\SAVDALDC01\Private- subkey.
3. From the Edit menu, select New - DWORD value.
4. Enter a name of Database Size Limit in GB and press enter.
5. Double-click the new value and set it to a value between 1 and 75. Click OK.

By default, Exchange writes 5MB transaction logs that are kept until you perform a full backup. If the database becomes corrupted, Exchange restores the last full backup then applies all the transaction logs. However, you can turn on circular logging, which instead reuses transaction logs when the 5MB is full, but this means in the event of a database loss, data could be restored only to the point of the last backup. To enable circular logging:
1. Start Exchange System Manager (ESM–Start, Programs, Microsoft Exchange, System Manager).
2. Expand Administrative Groups, Servers, then expand the server.
3. Right-click the storage group for which you want to enable circular logging and select Properties (remember transaction logs are per storage group and not per database).
4. Select the “Enable circular logging” check box and click OK, as the figure shows.
5. Click Yes to the warning.
6. Restart the Information Store by using the following command: net stop msexchangeis net start msexchangeis
