Exchange 2000 and 5.5 Disk Space
I have had a serious issue with exchange using to much space. the problem
is that if you get the users to clear their mailbox's down you are still using
alot of space.
the solution is to offline defragment or compress your privat or public database
store.
step 1
stop all exchange services
step 2
type:
eseutil /d priv.edb /td:\temp-area\tmpdfrg.edb
this means use eseutil
/d makes it defragment and compress
priv.edb is the private email store
/t specifies the email store location - in the case above this is on the d:
drive under the directory d:\temp-area\ . you need to have space availiable
equal to 110% of the current size of the *.edb file.
i recovered 1.5gb of a 2.2gb file doing this.
you do not need a reboot but i always do just in case.
here is the link if you need it
pom
