I was checking it using explorer and it has steadily maintained 10-11GB. I never worried about it. Now that it is 15.5GB I became more concerned. -----Original Message----- From: Patrick Smallwood [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2002 3:45 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Information Store Maintenance Hello, Instead of "suspecting" that you have whitespace, why not check the event log? event ID 1221 if I remember correctly... not to mention what other have eluded to: -mute point if you have 5 gigs of free space and not over 16gb limit -lots of downtime-risk -what problem do you think will be solved? PLUS- at least this way, Exchange wont have to use cycles to resize the DB as it grows...

Each IS was around 32 GB. It took about 3 hours and was 5 GB when it was finished. The biggest improvement was that the backup didn't use 32GB of space on the tapes every night.

Our database is 27 GB in size and im going to defrag it this weekend. I should be able to shrink it to about 25 GB -----Original Message----- From: Jay Personette [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2002 2:11 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Information Store Maintenance Think he may be worried about bumping the 16 gig limit for non enterprise???

I was planning to run the ESEUTIL to clean up the database. I suspect there is a lot of space that can be reclaimed and by defragging the store things *should* run more smoothly. I have never done this so bravely I go forward, but not before asking for the sage advise of the list. A couple of things I would like to know are: 1. Approximately how long will it take? The box is a Dell PE2400 dual PIII-600 1GB-RAM. I'm just looking for a ballpark so I can schedule the time. 2. Are there any precautions, other than backups, I should take? 3. Are there any known problems with the utility Thanks in advance.
