<div>
There was no 1221 events for the mailbox store only the public.<br />
I had to extent the maintenance window for a whole weekend for it to finish running. (Almost 24 hours)<br />
I also deleted a load of disabled users. <br />
<br />
The online maintenance has now detected a load of free space I will now run an offline defrag when it is convenient.<br />
<br />
I did not realise that an online has to finish before an offline will take affect.<br />
<br />

Hiya,<br />
<br />
We have an exchange 2000 server which reached the 16GB limit and unmounted.<br />
Ok so I ran an offline defrag and it shrunk it to 15.7GB.<br />
So I double checked in System Manager \mailboxes and looked at the sizes &amp;&nbsp;totaled them up.<br />
And it only came to about 2-3GB of mailboxes.<br />
<br />
So I unticked the 'retain deleted mailboxes until full backup..' &nbsp;and changed the mailbox &amp;&nbsp;deleted item retention to 0. <br />
I then ran the Mailbox Management Process &amp;&nbsp;Cleanup Agent<br />
Then reran the eseutil /d &amp;&nbsp;I also ran &quot;Isinteg -fix -test alltests&quot;<br />
<br />
Still no change.<br />
<br />
So why is the .edb &amp;&nbsp;.stm total 15.7GB when there is only 2-3GB of mailboxes.<br />
<br />
Help

Hiya,

We have an exchange 2000 server which reached the 16GB limit and unmounted.
Ok so I ran an offline defrag and it shrunk it to 15.7GB.
So I double checked in System Manager \mailboxes and looked at the sizes & totaled them up.
And it only came to about 2-3GB of mailboxes.

So I unticked the 'retain deleted mailboxes until full backup..'  and changed the mailbox & deleted item retention to 0. 
I then ran the Mailbox Management Process & Cleanup Agent
Then reran the eseutil /d & I also ran "Isinteg -fix -test alltests"

Still no change.

So why is the .edb & .stm total 15.7GB when there is only 2-3GB of mailboxes.

Help

priv1.edb won't shrink after eseutil help
