Exchange 2003 store sizes?
I am looking in System Manager at Mailbox sizes and then I am looking at the priv1.edb that is 64 GB's. I don't see the correlation between the two? What gives? Why is the priv1 so big and the mailboxes so small? I am getting this error when the NTBackup runs at night?? The 'Microsoft Information Store' returned 'Error returned from an ESE function call (d).

RE: Exchange 2003 store sizes?
Well, that generally means you need to find the FIRST ntbackup that failed and look at its logfile and the event log it generated when it failed. The error you mention is caused by a backup not cleaning up after itself. You can clear it by restarting the Information Store service. Every night you should have a ESE online maintenance task that runs and generates a 1221 event that tells you how much white space is in your databases. What did that say?

Follow along with what Michael said even though he is in Redmond currently being spoiled... :P My guess is you have some whitespace in your DB which is accounting for the extra size of the database...

RE: Exchange 2003 store sizes?
Actually, I'm not in Redmond this year for the MVP Summit. There is a training course being held in April, for a product that I can't talk about, that I thought would be more beneficial for me to attend. As an independent consultant - I have to watch those travel dollars pretty carefully these days. And I'm already speaking at TEC 2009 and Connections 2009 this month.just too many conferences all together. Regards, Michael B.

Re: Exchange 2003 store sizes?
I tried to get to the Connections conference this month, unfortunately, it corresponds with Spring Break and there were no breaks on airfare, which made it a little too much for the manager to be able to justify.

RE: Exchange 2003 store sizes?
Here is another method to check how much user mailbox data is used by deleted items: Open Exchange System Manager Drill down to the Storage Group and expand the mailbox database Click on Mailboxes On the View menu select Add/Remove Columns Select the Deleted Items (KB) option from the left window list and add it to the right window list and click OK Then you would add the total from the Mailbox size and the Deleted Items size columns to get the total space used by the client mailboxes.
