The database will grow if you then import the data again.  It is at this
point that SIS is lost.

I think you can only use Exmerge while the Exchange is online.  I use it
all the time when a user leaves the company and have had no problems
with it. The largest I have ever exported is 200MB though and it took
about 10 seconds.  I have yet to see the database grow becuase of me
using exmerge.

I have to use the exmerge utility to create PST files of mailboxes for
about 3 users who are leaving the firm. Their mailbox sizes are really
huge (about 1GB each). I have never had the opportunity to use Exmerge,
so I want to get an idea. Can this be done online or do I need to take
the Exchange Server offline to do this? I know it affects the SIS, will
it really increase my database size drastically? I only have 4GB of
space left on a 36Gb partition where the Information store resides. Will
this retain the folder tree structure for OL client. If it requires
exchange downtime, I'd rather export to PST files using the Outlook
client.

Thanks for all your input

Raj
