Pretty much. Actually, Peter had a couple of VERY cool tricks with perfmon that I didn't know about.

Just because I'm bored, waiting for a MOM agent install to finish, I'll share that I did recently hear about an issue with an A/V package that was stuffing up the STM file because it (the A/V) was misconfigured. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andy David Sent: Thursday, May 05, 2005 6:53 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Very Large STM File If you are really gung ho to reduce it: 1) delete a ton of messages, wait till deleted item retention and IS maintenance runs and do an offline defrag to shrink both the edb and stm files. 2) Have every user modify all their messages, thus moving them into the rich store, which will grow, then do an offline defrag to shrink the stm after maintenance runs. 3) Move every mailbox to another store, thus moving every message into the rich store, which is now much bigger, later do an offline defrag - hopefully, temporarily, shrinking the stm. Unless this the Standard edition, I don't see the point of worrying about it actually. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Fyodorov, Andrey FTL Sent: Thursday, May 05, 2005 3:50 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Very Large STM File On a server that is doing heavy SMTP/OWA/POP3/IMAP and not much MAPI Oulook, I would expect the STM file to be larger than the EDB. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Parker Sent: Thursday, May 05, 2005 1:05 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Very Large STM File I did find this on the STM issue... ************************************************************************ ** STM files contains the body of internet mail messages... If someone sends a lot of internet mail messages then it will grow. Did you already ran a full backup? Running defrag will only release the white space, i.e. space that will be available after running defrag. So this will not solve the growing of your STM file. Before you run defragmention look in your application log for event 1221, there will be one event for each store (private/public) In there you'll find the "white space" mentioned ************************************************************************ ** Hope that helps...
