Greetings,
I have an SBS 2003 Exchange server that is using a lot of space. There are only about 18 mailboxes on this system. I am on the verge of converting them to an online Exchange service, but need a another few weeks.
My data drive (which has other apps on it as well as the Exchange databases) is very full. The RAID 5 volume is 34 gb total and has 2.6 gb left. All the other Exchange related files (programs and logs are on a different volume. Only yhte Databases are on this volume.
My issue is that the Exchange database files total about 12 gb on the drive, and yet according to ESM (mailboxes), it shows about 5gb for all users combined.
Drive
Mailboxes
What can account for the extra usage in the DB files? How can I fix this? I just need it to run for another 2-3 weeks.
I have deleted a few users, and have cleaned up LOTS of emails from several of the high-use users, but it doesn't seem to make much difference.
Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.
