Exchange 2003 Hard Drives Filling UP
Hello All: I am fairly new with Exchange 2003 and I have inherited an Exchange server that has not been properly managed in the past. What I am running into is that priv1.edb file and priv1.stm files are growing at a rapid pace. In the past, there have been no restrictions set on mailboxes and I know that is causing this issue because people are not cleaning up any old e-mails. I have cleaned up some old mailboxes by archiving them to pst file and then deleting the mailbox out of Exchange. This has totaled around 10GB of space that should be reused by exchange. However, I am noticing that my priv1.edb file is still growing a little bit each day. My assumption was that it would not grow for a little while at least since I freed up 10GB of space. Would anyone be able to give me some pointers on why this file continues to grow? I know in order to reclaim disk space, I would have to do an offline defrag, but it does not make since to me why the file is still growing. Thanks for any help in advance.

RE: Exchange 2003 Hard Drives Filling UP
What he said. Also check your application event log for 70x series messages from ESE. Each night (by default from 1am to 5am) Online Maintenance runs which is responsible for dealing with deleted items and consolidating free space into space available for reuse. If online maintenance isn't completing (or by some rare reason, isn't running) then you'll need to expand the amount of time you assign to online maintenance. Note that online maintenance will not run if a backup is running at the same time. Regards, Michael B.

RE: Exchange 2003 Hard Drives Filling UP
The nightly online maintenance, as Michael described, will do the actual work to free up the space. You can't get it back immediately... well, I suppose you could modify the schedule for the maintenance to include the whole day, and restart the services to initiate it immediately, but that would be disruptive, detrimental to end user performance, and just generally not recommended.

Re: Exchange 2003 Hard Drives Filling UP
Once online maintenance runs, you should see Event ID 1221 in the Application Log - that will show how much whitespace is available in the EDB file. Exchange will use up that white space before expanding the EDB file on disk (IF you have multiple stores on the same disk, be sure to watch all of them - if one out of four has no whitespace, for example, you'll still be losing free disk space). If disk space has gotten critical - note that the STM file CAN continue to grow, and may grow quickly if you have POP/IMAP clients. The only way to free up space in the STM file is to perform an offline defrag. --James On Fri, Oct 10, 2008 at 9:29 AM, Bingham, Kevin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The nightly online maintenance, as Michael described, will do the actual work to free up the space.

RE: Dump Exchange Address Book from hosted server
I don't know the source hosting company, but most hosting companies today offer a control panel for the HE solution that can provide you access to that information. If the source company doesn't, then you don't really have any choice but to use the contents of a user's mailbox. Uh, I supposed one could write a webdav/webservices application to pretend to be OWA to get that same info, but that would likely be more difficult. Regards, Michael B.

Re: Dump Exchange Address Book from hosted server
De - one of my field engineers just suggested something much simpler: Create a new Contacts folder for the user. Then go to the address book. Tell Outlook to keep personal contacts in the new folder. Select one and then holding shift select them all. Right click and add to contacts. It will populate them and then you can go in there and select all and do a drag and drop to a public folder. I just tested it. It's a bit ghetto but I think it will do. Thanks all for the input. -- Durf On Fri, Oct 10, 2008 at 11:21 AM, Michael B.

Re: DNS hosting suggestions for exchange
Since you say home setup, I'm guessing you are on a residential connection. I would recommend that you continue to smart host through your ISP. Even with proper DNS records, you could still find yourself subject to a targeted residential blacklist. There are well-known popular DNSBLs that are used for this (e.g. Spamhaus). You would also need to look into removing anything residential appearing about your PTR. This is another DNS object that is under increasing scrutiny. Are you having issues with your smart host configuration? On Fri, Oct 10, 2008 at 11:55 AM, Steven M. Caesare [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So… I need to tidy up my home Exch2K3 setup.

RE: Blackberry GAL use
You guessed it. We migrated email away from a specific domain we aren’t using anymore and a ton of execs had static contacts in Outlook that are synced with the BB. We don’t want to stop local contact sync because there are valid entries that users need, and educating users on the issue and how to correct it hasn’t proved to be very fruitful. Individual attention is not possible based on the volume of users affected and their geographic locations. We probably should have just left those email addresses valid for internal use...Hindsight. -troy -Original Message- From: Don Andrews [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 10, 2008 9:50 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: Blackberry GAL use Is it really a case of same names or has someone made a local (static) copy of a GAL entry?

Re: Blackberry GAL use
Oh, there's nothing wrong with local or personal contacts - in fact the way they transparently sync to/from the server resident contacts is dynamite - the issue is when they duplicate GAL entries. This isn't limited to BBs - the same issue happens on Outlook except the user can override it. Just have to explain that duplicating GAL entries in local contacts is bad no matter how/why they got there and give them all the reasons. You can't prevent them from doing it TO themselves. - Sent from my BlackBerry Wireless Handheld - Original Message - From: Troy Meyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues exchangelist@lyris.sunbelt-software.com Sent: Fri Oct 10 11:06:14 2008 Subject: RE: Blackberry GAL use You guessed it.

random calendar access is lost
Single server Exchange 2003 SP2\OL 2003-2007 cached mode Several users have all of a sudden lost access to other users calendar. As an example, I go to the calendar tab within OL and click on a user listed under People's calendar. You get the Unable to display calendar. The calendar can not be found error message. I've been able to get a couple of people back up be deleting the local mail profile, rebooting and then rebuilding. However, this has not been a global fix and I can't figure out root cause. Now looking at the server but I'd like to reach out to the list as well to see if anyone else has dealt with this recently. Google tells me, delete and rebuild the profile, FWIW...

So piping a Get-Mailbox with some filtering into this: Export-Mailbox -PSTFolderPath:D:\Path -MaxThreads:1 -Confirm:$false should give the same size file that a manual export of all folders from OL to a pst does? But the cmdlet gives me 1.6 gig where OL gives me 200 meg for one box? How can I replicate the same behavior and not export anything else other than the current mailbox contents?

Re: Call me ignorant...
Wow. I used to back up Exchange 5.5 remotely from file servers with no issues. On my local server I have TSM, but in the UK office - which this is about - it's now not working. I am currently using the backup on the Exchange server to dump to the file server, but that takes up 40gb on the file server that could be better used for other data. Beyond that, the backup on the file server is complaining about not being able to take a good backup of the .bkf file from the Exchange server, thus my efforts to get the remote backup running.
