A. Yes, you can use the /t switch with the Eseutil utility to specify a local or remote location as the temporary folder to be used for the database to be defragmented. Using a remote location might slow down the defragmentation process, however. In the example below, I specified the Z drive, which maps to a network path (or you can use a UNC path), and a temporary file name for the database.
C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\bin>eseutil /d "c:\program files\exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv1.edb" /tz:\tempdfrg.edb

Note: It's recommended that you immediately perform a full backup of this database. If you restore a backup made before the defragmentation, the database will be rolled back to the state it was in at the time of that backup. Operation completed successfully in 17.846 seconds.
