ESEUTIL is a utility to defragment Exchange Server to check the integrity of the Exchange database and repair a damaged or lost database.

The ESEUTIL.exe can be found in the EXCHSRVRBIN directory. Because this directory is not in the system path, you must either open the tool in the BIN directory or add the EXCHSRVRBIN directory to the system path.
