>Hello Friends,
>
>I am looking for a method of maintaining the exchange 2000 database
>(standard Edition) so that it does not reach 16GB limit.
>
>I would like to know methods other than offline defragmentation as I
>cannot perform them due to space restriction on the server harddisk.
>
>Currently the size is 12GB, hence I have set storage limits and also
>archive emails using Exmerge, but even after deleting emails, the size
>is the same. I was thinking every night during maintenance it might
>purge them, but its not happening or how long should one wait for the db
>size to get smaller or whats the best method for maintenance ?
>
>Please suggest.
