Eseutil/d is amazingly quick on an empty store. Ymmv but I recall times of 10
minutes or less (15K drives, RAID 10) with similar DB files.
.
Rather than messing around with a SA mailbox, I'd vote for the Eseutil every
time.
I don't think moving a mail store wouldn't make it smaller you'd have to move
the mailbox to a different store.

Subject: Exchange mailstore size question
Is there another way to shrink the size of a mailstore other than taking it
off-line and esutil it?
I am in the process of decommission'g a server but not ready to delete the
mailstore that houses the System Attend mailbox. Getting pressure to return the
SAN storage. Need to reduce the size of the EDB file to move it to local disk,
all mailboxes have been moved off of the mailstore to another server.
Would creating a new storage group and moving the mailstore to it reduce the
actual size? Current size is 190 GB plus 89 GB for the STM.
