If you really need the space back, then yes, an offline defrag is the way to
go. Perhaps though, now that they've cleaned up, the limits could be raised
a bit and you could just re-use the space on more current data.
Remember, the point of email systems management isn't to minimize the data
stored, it's to maximize information retention and sharing towards the goal
of improving the company bottom line. If it takes another 4GB to do that,
there shouldn't be any question.

Subject: Exchange 2000 - recovering space
All-
Background: I have an Exchange 2000 Server with 100 users. I recently
implemented some mailbox limits. Due to these limits, all users went
through and deleted old mail, attachments that were already saved, etc.
Roughly 4GB of data was deleted or archived.
My question: How can I recover this space? Based on the amount of free
disk space that I have now... the 4GB is still part of the database. Is the
only answer to do an offline defrag?!
Thanks.
Brian
