Size problem with information store after running eseutil /d

by jrentschler . Updated 17 years, 9 months ago

Recently I ran into the 16GB cap on our Exchange 2000 server. I got it back online by using the registry hack to squeeze out the extra 1GB and then cleaned up over 1GB of old mailboxes. I then ran eseutil /d (had to do it on another server due to lack of space on my SBS box). Then I ran the online defrag. The total size of my priv1.edb and priv1.stm files is about 14.7GB now. However, after the online defrag ran, Event 1221 says that I only have about 232MB free and if I total up my mailboxes, they come to 15.7GB! So, how do I know how much space I really have, and how do I get the two figures to reconcile? I’m in the process of moving to Exchange 2007, but that’s still a month or so out, so I have to keep this afloat for a while longer, but I need to know where I really stand.
Thanks!
