This step-by-step article tells you how to change the scheduled time for running Exchange Server maintenance routines.
You should run maintenance routines against data stores on a daily basis. By default, Exchange Server runs maintenance tasks daily at 11:00 P.M. If this schedule conflicts with other activities, you can change the maintenance time.
Set Maintenance Intervals of Data Stores
1. | Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then click System Manager. |
2. | Expand Servers, and then expand the server that you want to work with. |
3. | Expand the storage group that you want to work with. |
4. | In the list of available data stores in the details pane, right-click the store that you want to work with, and then click Properties. |
5. | In the Store Properties dialog box, click the Database tab. |
6. | Do one of the following:a. | In the Maintenance interval list, click a new interval. | b. | Click Customize to access the Schedule dialog box, and then create a custom interval. |
|
7. | Click OK. |
Note You do not have to remount the database after you make a change to the maintenance schedule. However, the maintenance schedule change may take some time to replicate. The replication time may vary.
