I am wanting to test an online backup solution, so I want to minimize
space. This is the same server that also has the runaway transaction
logs creating up to 80 gigs a week in transaction logs.
Thnaks.

It will free it up the next time white space consolidation completes running.
That's generally within 24 hours. That will just increase
AvailableNewMailboxSpace.
Is there an actual problem you are trying to solve?

Thanks, Michael.
I do not see any 1221 events in the application log, but I ran this:
Get-MailboxDatabase -Status | FL AvailableNewMailboxSpace
and it replied 10.34 GB.
I also have one user that shows 20 GB in totsldeleteditemd and one user with 7 GB. If I set their retention policy to 0 days will that free up that space sometime today?
12 GB of mailboxes, 30 GB of deleted items and 10 GB of whitespace would be 52
GB total vs the 88 GB in the edb file. Anything else, I should look at?

Check out 1221 for ESE in the Application log to see how much white space you
have.
Also:
Get-mailbox -resultsize unlimited | get-mailboxstatistics | select
DisplayName, TotalDeletedItemSize, TotalItemSize
will provide you with more details...

Hi all,
Can anyone help me solve a mystery?
Exchange 2010 small implementation. 30 users. When I run a script to get mailbox sizes all mailboxes add up to less than 12 gigs. We have default retention policy enabled that keeps deleted items for 14 days.
the database management tick box is ticked for 24/7 maintenance.
The mailbox edb file is 88 gigs.
Any idea what is going on and how I can shrink this?
Thanks.
Bill
