Explanation
This Information event indicates that the Microsoft Exchange Transport service started online defragmentation of the transport database. For example, the Transport server started defragmentation of mail.que.
Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 uses an ESE database to store messages for routing throughout an Exchange organization. On servers that run the Edge Transport role, the database queues those messages that are received from or are directed to the Internet. On servers that run the Hub Transport role, the database queues messages that are transferred throughout the Exchange organization. Exchange 2010 includes the following transport queues:
Submission queue
Mailbox delivery queue
Remote delivery queue
Poison message queue
Unreachable queue
When you install Exchange, the queues the Microsoft Exchange Transport service automatically creates these queues on an as-needed basis for temporary message storage. As the queues are used over time, the transport database may become fragmented. Therefore, Exchange performs scheduled database defragmentation operations on the queue database to help maintain optimal database health.
For more information about transport message queues, see Understanding Transport Queues.
User Action
No user action is required. However, you can use the EdgeTransport.exe.config file to view or modify the defragmentation settings for the transport database file. The EdgeTransport.exe.config file is an XML application configuration file that is associated with the EdgeTransport.exe file. For more information, see the "Options for Configuring the Queue Database" section in Understanding Transport Queues.
For More Information
If you are not already doing so, consider running the Exchange tools, which have been created to help you analyze and troubleshoot your Exchange environment. These tools can help make sure that your configuration aligns with Microsoft best practices. They can also help you identify and resolve performance issues and improve mail flow. To run these tools, go to the Toolbox node of the Exchange Management Console. To learn more about these tools, see Managing Tools in the Toolbox.
