Defragmentation gives some time, but the problem remains, and it will buzz you perodically, there are some other ways to get rid of it. Like setting up second server and moving some of mailboxes there, or if it is possible move mail to pst files at the client side. -----Original Message----- From: Zentarra, Marco [mailto:marco.zentarra@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, December 18, 2003 11:31 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] AW: RE: AW: RE: AW: Exchange 5.5 reaching 16GB Capacity http://www.MSExchange.org/ ok, but you know how much the enterprise edition costs,do ya? :-) -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: ??????? ????? ??????????

If you want to use larger bases and/or multiply storage you should use Enterprise edition.

[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.

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 ########################################### This message has been scanned by F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange.
