Hello All:
I am fairly new with Exchange 2003 and I have inherited an Exchange server that has not been properly managed in the past. What I am running into is that priv1.edb file and priv1.stm files are growing at a rapid pace. In the past, there have been no restrictions set on mailboxes and I know that is causing this issue because people are not cleaning up any old e-mails. I have cleaned up some old mailboxes by archiving them to pst file and then deleting the mailbox out of Exchange. This has totaled around 10GB of space that should be reused by exchange. However, I am noticing that my priv1.edb file is still growing a little bit each day. My assumption was that it would not grow for a little while at least since I freed up 10GB of space. Would anyone be able to give me some pointers on why this file continues to grow? I know in order to reclaim disk space, I would have to do an offline defrag, but it does not make since to me why the file is still growing. Thanks for any help in advance.
