Priv1.edb file size too large - need to reduce size
I have read your solutions to this problem and have a couple of questions, How do you take exchange "Offline"? In the Services? Also how exactly do you run the ESEUTIL? Questions from a novice. Appreciate any help. I am also fighting a very large Priv1.edb and Priv1.stm files in Exchange which is taking up a great deal of space.
