Yes . . that's exchange for you. You won't see the DB's grow smaller
until a defrag is done.
Oddly enough, if you migrate your mailbox and public folder data to
another server exchange will only move the relevant data and will leave
behind all the spaces in the DB's. Case in point, I migrated a client's
DB's with a Priv.edb near 15 GB, and once it was all said and done with
no mailboxes being trimmed or deleted the priv.edb was a mere 8 GB.=20
The question though Michael is where are your exchange directories, and
where are you running out of space?
Are your exchange logs on the same drive as your edb's? Do you have
circular logging enabled? Do you backup your exchange server regularly
with a viable agent software, (which cleans up the log files) or with
the build in NT backup?
The exchange optimizer can help you locate where all the key files /
folder for your exchange system are located and also help you migrate
them to drives with more space available. However, keep in mind the
optimizer will stop all exchange services in order to do this.=20

You won't get the space back until an off-line defrag is done on your
databases. Look over the doco for Exutil and if you do an offline
defrag insure you have atleast as much free diskspace as your databases
are taking up or bad things happen.

I have an exchange server that is running low on disk space. I have
cleaned up old files, etc. and had users delete unwanted stuff and sent
and deleted messages, but it doesn't help. how can i manually reclaim
that space to try and salvage this server?=3D20
Thanks,
