RE: reclaiming space

I am sure there was an assumption that this applied to Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2003 Enterprise and the administrator would create a new database and move the mailboxes and delete the original database. This would be on the _same_ server. There is no need to move the mailboxes back, John. Now i

RE: reclaiming space

Not sure why you would move the mailboxes back: if I'm not mistaken, what is being suggested is that a new store be created on the same exchange server, and the mailboxes be moved to the new store using the wizard and the old store then be removed from the system. This would mean, as already stat

As I recall, one of Microsoft's criteria for doing an Offline Defragmentation was that you had greater than 20% whitespace in the current message database file. Yes, once the offline defragmentation is completed, you will have zero white space and the MDB will expand as new mail comes in and whites

That is absolutely certainly another option. That way only the mailboxes in transition are offline from a server point of view. But we have no clue about what else is even on that source server, their SLA, whether they can support another store on that server, etc. He didn't even indicate the

RE: reclaiming space

Well, no. This is exactly the right case for an offline defrag. If you move a lot of mailboxes from a store then that is when you might consider an offline defrag. In this case some 549 mailboxes totalling something like 122.6GB. Jack, you can perform an offline defrag so you are not backin

RE: reclaiming space

If you have plenty of disk space, then the only NEGATIVE is that your backups take longer, as they still back up the empty space. A positive is that Exchange doesn't have to physically expand the database store when additional space is needed. Regards, Michael B. Smith MCSE/Exchange MVP h

I've always been curious and I've never been able to find a straight answer. Is there any benefit to running an offline defrag after you have migrated a significant amount of data from one database to another, other than regaining disk space? I recently migrated about half of my users (50GB) t
