Database Space Recovery
in [Microsoft Exchange]
|
From: Nik on 10 Mar 2010 15:17 Guys, I have about 30GB of recoverable space on my database yet still my disk has on 5GB free. What is the best way to reclaim this space. Do i do an offline defrag? Based on what I read this would not do the trick sense since Exchange 2003SP2 handle the database differently. All suggestions welcome. Thanks

Get a larger disk and move your mail store to it.

Move the mailboxes to a new database, then delete the current one. >Do i do an offline defrag? You don't have enough disk space to do that. >Based on what I read this would not do the trick >sense since Exchange 2003SP2 handle the database differently. Differently to what? --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

30GB of free space in what size database? When I used perfmon and check the MSExchangeIS Mailbox - Total size of recoverable Items I have 30,682,377 Differently to what? That's a good question, I did not bother to dig deeper.
