Also, Exchange Enterprise or Standard on the recovery server?You can redirect the temp. database to a share if necessary, provided you've got the space on a remote machine.... Be prepared to wait a good long while, though...List Charter and FAQ at:-----Original Message-----

Subject: Shrink 5.5 databaseWe are attempting to setup a test environment and do a restore of our 5.5 server from tape. We got database and directory restored to a test server, but when I try to start the IS, it tells me I have to do a defrag. Problem is, my IS is about 35GB and I only have about 15GB of free space to work with on my test server. So the defrag runs out of space before it completes. I don't have the option of putting any more drives in this server, it is maxed out.
Can't I use exmerge or something like that to strip out some of the larger attachments in the store so that I can shrink it down enough to finish the defrag? I don't really need all the mail, I just want a working server. Or does the store have to be running to run exmerge?
