Can an exchange 2003 mail store be compacted while still online?
LockedRecently I was challenged to recover an exchange store that ran out of disk space. The reason it ran out of space was due to the retention policy was set for 2 year retention. This of course was reduced however the mail store still shows the same disk usage on backups even after purging the store of old messages. Microsoft recommends taking the store offline and running the ES recovery to reset the mail store size however the email system operated requires 24/7 access due to its use in the medical field. My search for a utility has been nerve racking and any advice would be appreciated.
OS: Windows server 2003 emterprise R2
email: MS Exchange 2003
