RE: exchange 5.5 private stores and purging
How much space? If it wasn't a lot, then keep an eye on it because it just might bounce back up.

RE: exchange 5.5 private stores and purging
Nate, Andy, and Ben, thanks for all of your help concerning this issue. I finally received a 1221 message from the server at 6 pm last night. It told me I have 6509 Megabytes of space free. Very cool. I will be doing another eseutil /d /priv over the weekend and another backup. Once again THANKS for all of your help. I'm learning eventhough I've been running this thing for 5 years or so.

RE: exchange 5.5 private stores and purging
Thanks Ben. So far the only 1221's that are showing up are the one's for the MSExchangePub but none for the MSExchange Private. Will it show some type of progress message? All I keep seeing are the messages relating deleting messages and attachments. what do you think?

RE: exchange 5.5 private stores and purging
It will show the 1221 event for the Private IS once it is done. Once you see that message, then you can run eseutil again.

RE: exchange 5.5 private stores and purging
Yes, but only if you ran it AFTER online maintenance purged the deleted items. Eseutil only purges the whitespace, which only gets created by online maintenance. Do what Andy suggested, and set maintenance to run always, wait a while and check event 1221 to see how much whitespace you have. You can then run eseutil again to recover that whitespace.

RE: exchange 5.5 private stores and purging
Set the Deleted Item Retention time for messages to 0 and IS maintenance to "always" and let that puppy run for awhile. Also, check the 1221 events in the app log and see how much space has been freed up. The 1221's will give you the min amount you can reclaim after defragging with eseutil again. And of course, take another backup *after* you run eseutil :) -Original Message- From: pat karr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2003 9:26 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: exchange 5.5 private stores and purging Hi all, I run an Exchange 5.5 SP4 server on Win NT 4.0.

RE: exchange 5.5 private stores and purging
My first question is on the second ESEUTIL run di you run a defrag or did you run some other switch with it? If you did not run a second defrag after you cleaned out the accounts then that is your issue. MS Exchange does defrag automatically, but it does not compress automatically. In order to recoup the space you cleaned up you must run the ESEUTIL with the defrag switch.
