Hi,<br />
<br />
Sorry for the Delay, &nbsp;I ran an offline defrag of the database, still at 65gb. &nbsp;I think my next step is to call Microsoft since i dont want it to get to 75gb, I am using SBS 2003.<br />

Ok, I called Microsoft, they had me do an exmerg to pst's then create a new database and emerge them back. I then had to go to all the workstations and re create the outlook profile becouse it was saying exchange in in recovery mode. &nbsp;I hope i never have to do this again.<br />

Hello,<br />
<br />
I have a client with exchange 2003 sp2, their mailboxes under system manager total up to around 6gb but there exchange database size has climbed from 6gb to 50gb. &nbsp;Attempted to dismount the database and run a defrag but it failed out. &nbsp;The database mounts fine but just worried about it climbing to 75gb. Any suggestions?<br />
Thanks,<br />
