Hello All, Last Wednesday, one week ago, without any warning our information store stopped - reached the 16 gig limit. What I did not know was that the 16 gigs is a total of both the .stm file and the .edb file. I do not know if the public folders contributed to the 16 gigs or not as ours only account for 100 MB.
My first gripe - you would think there might be a warning message or two in the event log before it shuts down....!? Anyways I knew we were getting closer to the limit and I helped some people get their mailboxes cleaned out in the 2 weeks previous. Here are the steps we followed. Rebooted. IS still would not load. Ran eseutil Brought it online - deleted the deleted items manually and changed the deleted item retention time from 30 days to 6 days. Ran eseutil again - recaptured 5 gigs. Since that day I have the server freeze up several times a day - anyone in Outlook notices - wait a few minutes and everything comes back. If I am at the server I can't even get logged in until it frees up. I have rebooted the server a couple times - no use. The event log reports very, very little. I get a 2078 information error about dsaccess stopping, however this message comes after the slowdown and things are working again - more like a symptom of an underlying problem. I turned up dsaccess logging - no useful info there. Here is the setup: Exchange 2000, sp3 Windows 2000, sp3 dual 1.6 processors 1.5 gigs RAM Compaq proliant, Hardware raid 5 and raid 1 for logs single domain, single site, one exchange server, 150 users running Trend scanmail for exchange Installed Trend Interscan Messaging suite to block spam about 2 weeks ago - however, everything was just fine until the IS reached its limit. Any comments, suggestions or ideas on how to solve this one are appreciated. Thanks.
