RE: Exchange 2K & Outlook 2K3 - increase in size of *.stm
Neil & Andy (and anyone else interested!), Firstly thanks for your replies - every bit helps when you have a conundrum. I managed to increase the size of the exchange drive, and then last night dismounted the store and ran eseutil /d. *.stm file went from approx 9GB to 1.5 GB (what I was expecting!). To that end - not sure WHY it did it, but that solved the problem. And Andy, yes - we need bigger drives (however politics dictate that what the servers have is what they will keep until we upgrade them in 12 months or so). Damn proprietary hard drives! ;) Thanks for your help - this list is a goldmine. themolk. > -Original Message- > From: David, Andy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, 30 October 2003 10:29 PM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: Exchange 2K & Outlook 2K3 - increase in size of *.stm > > Sounds like you need bigger drives!

RE: Exchange 2K & Outlook 2K3 - increase in size of *.stm
Scanning drive M: with file-level AV can increase the size of the STM file. Neil -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Molkentin Posted At: 30 October 2003 00:34 Posted To: Swynk Exchange (30 days) Conversation: Exchange 2K & Outlook 2K3 - increase in size of *.stm Subject: Exchange 2K & Outlook 2K3 - increase in size of *.stm All advice appreciated... We have recently introduced Outlook 2K3 into our Exchange 2000 environment. Our laptop users we have configured to run Outlook in "cached exchange mode". In the same time frame, our *.stm has exploded from about 1.5 GB to approx 9GB. The *.edb file has not grown (apart from normal mail services). Why would this have happened? Is it not related to the introduction of Outlook 2K3? Is it related?

RE: Exchange 2K & Outlook 2K3 - increase in size of *.stm
Sounds like you need bigger drives! Not sure why you want to run eseutil. How much space are you going to reclaim if you do? -Original Message- From: Steve Molkentin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2003 7:34 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Exchange 2K & Outlook 2K3 - increase in size of *.stm All advice appreciated...
