Must be some strong perfume! Offline defrag or move mailboxes into a new DB. I just did this last week (eseutil), took about 20 min to do one of my bigger (45 Gb) databases. Don't know what version you have but breaking up the mailstore into several smaller ones makes this a lot less painful. HTH

Ramos [mailto:cra...@idfllc.com] Sent: Monday, March 16, 2009 3:46 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: MS Exchange 2007 Message Store maintenance Hellos. We are new to the 2007 world of MS Exchange. Can someone share some tips / config on preparing maintenance plans for MS Exchange? We have a client that has an 80GB message store. We have perfumed some aggressive archiving but we have not seen the message store shrink. In Exchange 2003, you could run a maint plan or an offline defrag and the white space would be removed.
