Ah! &nbsp;That may be it, I just checked and did not see a 702 event, so the 1221 isn't accurate. &nbsp;Does that mean I can check tomorrow after tonight's run and it may be ok?

Hello,<br />
<br />
We're trying to free up some space on our Exchange Server before it fills out. &nbsp;We were at about 66GB. &nbsp;I did an export list on ESM of the users mailbox, totaled the Size collumn to make sure, and sure enough we were at about 66GB.<br />
<br />
I had users move their old emails to local .PST files on their local drives. &nbsp;DId another export and totaled, we were down to 59GB. &nbsp;I plan on having them further remove old junk.<br />
<br />
However, Event ID 1221 reports only 4MB of free space this morning. &nbsp;Is there something I need to do further to reclaim the space?<br />
<br />
Thanks for any help!

Hello,

We're trying to free up some space on our Exchange Server before it fills out.  We were at about 66GB.  I did an export list on ESM of the users mailbox, totaled the Size collumn to make sure, and sure enough we were at about 66GB.

I had users move their old emails to local .PST files on their local drives.  DId another export and totaled, we were down to 59GB.  I plan on having them further remove old junk.

However, Event ID 1221 reports only 4MB of free space this morning.  Is there something I need to do further to reclaim the space?

Thanks for any help!
