First, install a single, temporary disk (>10GB) in the server, for just long enough to move the databases to it, take the stores offline, and run an offline defrag. Then, move back to your production volume, and remove the temporary disk from the server. Then, explain to your manager that either they buy more storage, or you're going to have to implement STRICT quotas to keep from running out of space all over again.
Or, like everyone else said - if the server's only got 5GB of disk space, you might want to think about finagling another server.

This server has lots of problems: 1- The database disk is full, it has only 16MB free. The database has 5GB. 2- The online defragmentation tells me that the database has 1,9GB free, but I don't have enough free space to do an offline defrag. 3- When I run System Manager I only see "Recipients" and "Tools". There's no sign of "Global Settings" and "Administrative Groups" 4- When I select "Recipients" I get the messages "An invalid ADSI pathname was passed" "An operations error occurred" I would like to hear your suggestions to solve all this problems. Thanks in advance. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
