Huge STM file and how do I shrink it?

Asked by munozm in Exchange Email Server

Tags: , ,

I have an Exchange 2003 SP2 bridge-head server that I use as a relay server for my internal applications, Sun boxes etc. What happened is that one of the Sun boxes had been queueing up messages from a cron job for at least 6 months (I don't have any idea how long) and decided to relay the messages all at once. When it did, the STM file grew from 600MB to 30GB, filled up the disk and crashed the server.

My question is, will an offline defrag (eseutil) shrink the STM file back to what it was?Start Free Trial
