Hi all, I run an Exchange 5.5 SP4 server on Win NT 4.0. Over the weekend it reached it 16GB threshold and I had to defrag it using the ESEUTIL. Afterwards, I made a backup and began clearing out over 100 accounts that contained close to 8GB's worth of data (according to the privates stores resources area). After which, I went back and viewed the size of the PRIV.EDB and it remained the same size as it was before the purging. It was explained to me that I needed to run another backup and did so. Nothing has changed on the size of the PRIV.EDB database, shows 14.7 GB's. I even ran the ESEUTIL once afterwards and another backup. I am using Brightstor Enterprise Backup. Once again nothing changed. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can recover all of the space that I cleared?
best regards, Pat _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
