Hi
 
we had the same problem (Ex2K) a few month ago. everybody will tell ya
to do an offline defrag with eseutil, BUT...there is a problem (in fact,
we had a problem):
 
our database was so big (16GB),that we coulnt mount the store, so i had
to delete some old (but really small) mailboxes. then i wanted to make
this offline defrag, but it seemed (<- is this the correct word for
"seem" in the past???) [by the way,sorry for my bad english] that
offlinedefrag with eseutil do not work correctly in the case that the DB
is as big as it was (16GB). so we had to set up a new store (in fact we
had to set up a new exchangeserver,cuz you cant make a new store when
one store is as big as 16GB) and moved all mailboxes in it. that worked
for us. offline defrag with eseutil work,too. but i´ve found out that it
only work correctly when the database isnt that big.

Hi All, 

I have one Exchange 5.5, its priv.edb is reaching its capacity. 
Can any body tell me the safest way to compress the database size or a
method through which this problem can be solved. 
ESEUTIL /d (Defargmentation) will it help? Is it safe to run on the
existing server? 


Thanks & regards, 

Rajnish Malik
