SUMMARY

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.
