Event ID 1221 reports "The database has 1 megabyte of free space after online defragmentation terminated" - How does Exchange allocate space because there is plenty of room on the drive (10gb) - Exchange is only thing running on the drive. Can anyone shed some light on this please?

This is not a problem. According to Microsoft, this is a "feature." This message is merely telling you that the online defrag found 1 MB of free space in the database.

You may receive several of these. If so, add them all up to determine the amount of free space in the database.

Se the MS Knowledgebase article Q186291 - XADM: Cannot Determine Free Space Available in Exchange Database

This occurs when there is a huge impact on the processor. The ideal way to revover white space on your exchange server is to use ESEUTIL to gefrag the ISPUB and ISPRIV individually. For example, go onto the command line, change the directory to the bin directory and run

ESEUTIL.EXE /d
