Hi Jamie;
How can the exmerge be used to shrink the DB as if you start it just at the
welcome message it tells you that see below:
"Message copied will lose their single instance storage and this may result in
the size of the Microsoft Exchange private information store increasingly
significantly"
How then can this be possible with the exmerge?
I have the same problem to as I restored a database and let the old logs in
hence causing duplicates and doubling my priv1.edb. I used the Duplicate email
remover to the clients and the priv1.edb decreased in a very little amount.
That is why I was interested in making follow-up on the issue of shrinking the
priv1.edb.
My plan was to use the in-built tools for e2k to defragment the database after
I have removed the duplicates from users' mailboxes.
Any Idea please???????????

Hi Aber,
As long as theres enough free space in the DBs then they won't grow at
all. Probably best to leave them alone unless the 16gig limit is a
problem already. Instead try to clean out what already there. Best tools
would be to either set and enforce limits on mailboxes or use exmerge to
dump certain types of items manually, eg. Old/joke files/big
files/ex-employees etc.
An event should be written to the app log each night telling you how
much free space is available in the DB.
Jamie.

Hello,
Is there a way to shrink the mail store (priv1.edb and priv1.stm)
without unmounting and shrinking it offline? I know this is the best
way to do it, but we can't bring down our exchange server at the moment
and we just need to bring down the size a little so we don't hit this
stoopid 16gig max (we're moving to enterprise soon).
Thanks,
Aber
