Cleaning out old Exchange mailbox -ms-exchange Forum

How can we free up more space on Exchange 2003 Server

Posted by Avinash Pillai on 01/27/2009 01:05:00 PM

Best solution that i can provide you is: Since running "eseutil" requires the Exchange DB to be stopped and hence need a complete downtime during this time. I would suggesst you to create a different mailbox store and map them to a diff drive or to a diff server then move every mailboxes one by one. Once the entire mailboxes are moved to the new store either run "eseutil" on the old store and make the DB slim or just delete the old store.

Advantage:
1) Not require any downtime since you are not running "eseutil" on live DB.
2) All the mailboxes that are moved to the new store will carry only the exact size of the data that it hold at the time of its transfer. i.e the Data that it will show after running the "eseutil". __.____._
