Just a FYI, you won't see 1221s in Exchange 2010 anymore, since the way maintenance runs has changed. The cmdlet you ran is the way to do this now, as you've seen. If you're interested in knowing more about this, the link below is a good read.

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? Bill Michael B.

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 > > --- > To manage subscriptions click here: > http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ > or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com > with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist > > --- > To manage subscriptions click here: > http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ > or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com > with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist > > > --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist
