I clarified what you said, which was "actual database size", which I would take to be the size of the file.

That is, if the EDB is 40GB, but 20GB is white space, he needs 110% of the 20GB, or 22GB.

The queue.dat is the working queue file. If you delete it, it will be re-created after restarting the IMS. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Evan Mann Sent: Thursday, May 05, 2005 12:29 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Eseutil usage with restricted disk space & \imcdata\queue.* files I believe eseutil makes a full copy of your .edb's before it does any work on them, so yes, if your current priv.edb is 10gigs, you need 10gigs of space free. On my old server, I had the same problem you did with space, so I'd just copy the .EDBs off to another server with more space and run it there. Nothing says you have to run it on the exchange server. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Sent: Thursday, May 05, 2005 11:45 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Eseutil usage with restricted disk space & \imcdata\queue.* files I have a 5.5 sp4 server with a priv.edb of about 10 Gb and a pub.edb of about 475 Mb. Unfortunately I have only a disk size of 16 Gb of which only just over 3 Gb is free at present. I am making more space available but the question is this. For Eseutil to work I am supposed to have at least the database size available. However if I have drastically culled the mailboxes will it actually need the full 10gb? Furthermore if I add up the sizes of the mailbox resources (Total K + Deleted Items K) I get 4,903,771. This I assume should be the approximate size of the priv.edb if compacted. If I can free up about 5Gb should this be enough to run Eseutil successfully to compact the database? I've also noticed that I have two files in the imcdata folder named queue.bad and queue.dat both 2000KB in size and having date stamps from Mar 2002 and Oct 2003 respectively. Can I delete these?
