Store dismountLori Just the regular /d will be fine, the main issues to what out for are 1. The amount of time it will take (16gb), I would say will take around 4 - 5 hours 2. Free space, you will need around twice the size of the store in free space for the defrag to run, so you would be looking at 32Gb of free space, you can set the location of this temp file by using the /t switch Hope this helps Mark Fugatt Pentech Office Solutions Inc www.4mcts.com www.exchangetrainer.com Tel: 585 586 3890 Fax: 585 249 0316 Cell: 585 576 4750 Visit www.msexchange.org for valuable information about Microsoft Exchange -----Original Message----- From: Lorie Gordon [mailto:lgordon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2002 1:47 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Store dismount http://www.MSExchange.org/ Mark, I looked at the KB article and I have a couple of questions: 1) Do I need to do a defrag or a defrag/compaction? 2) Are this typically a pretty straight forward thing or are there problems that I should look out for? Thanks for your help!

With regard to the users taking up lots of space, my suggestion would be to impose mailbox size limits and also implement the Mailbox Manager component, again here are a couple of links: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/articles.asp?art=332 http://www.msexchange.org/pages/articles.asp?art=566 Hope this helps.

I have been watching our Exchange server closely in the last few days and noticed that we were getting close to the 16 gig limit of Standard edition. We only have 100 users on this server but I lost single instance store after a database corruption. Today the information store dismounted because it hit the limit. I immediately started having users archive. Will I regain this space immediately or is there something that I need to do to get that space back? We are now looking into Enterprise edition so my next question is will I have to bring up another server to move to Enterprise edition? I am still having a hard time believing that we have run out of space so quickly. I have only found 5 users that are taking up a huge amount of space. The rest of the users have rather small mailboxes. Any ideas to help me with my space issue? Thanks in Advance!
