Call Microsoft PSS. There is a patch you can download that will allow you to extend the database limits to 17 GB.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
So I have a full exchange std database. So full that the mount dismounted.<br />
I'm running the eseutil defrag atm but its taking forever. I didn't have enough space on my HD's so I had to get an externail USB drive. So that bottleneck is slowing things down. I think it is going to take hours to complete and I hope it completes without error.<br />
<br />
Is there anything I can do to shrink the database quicky so that I can mount the database. Or anything I can do if the eseutil fails for shrink my database enough to mount it?<br />
<br />
I want to get people back online so that I can put in the hard limits and make them delete their mail.<br />
<br />
thanks<br />
