I think you can only use Exmerge while the Exchange is online. I use it all the time when a user leaves the company and have had no problems with it. The largest I have ever exported is 200MB though and it took about 10 seconds. I have yet to see the database grow becuase of me using exmerge.

I have to use the exmerge utility to create PST files of mailboxes for about 3 users who are leaving the firm. Their mailbox sizes are really huge (about 1GB each). I have never had the opportunity to use Exmerge, so I want to get an idea. Can this be done online or do I need to take the Exchange Server offline to do this? I know it affects the SIS, will it really increase my database size drastically? I only have 4GB of space left on a 36Gb partition where the Information store resides. Will this retain the folder tree structure for OL client. If it requires exchange downtime, I'd rather export to PST files using the Outlook client.
