Defrag Errors in event viewer

[MZiggy]

Hello I am getting the following errors in the eventlog of my exchange 5.5 sp4 on win NT 4.0 sp6a server.

Has anyone got any advice about this, should I be worried as I am also getting an error when I try to modify groups in exchange admin: -

Online Defragmentation HAS to use about the same amount of hard drive space that it is defragmenting. If your database is about 5 gigs, you need at least 5 gigs FREE to let it work it's magic. I would suggest about 1 1/3 times free space to be safe.
The Microsoft Exchange databases can be defragmented OFFline using the /D switch with Eseutil.exe (version 5.5). Under normal circumstances there is no need to defragment the databases. Online defragmentation is done automatically, however, the size of the file is not reduced and disk space is not recovered. Here is the article that explains Eseutil:

Don't let it get worse. Good luck. Click.
