Exchange Server is FULL - need help
Our Exchange 2003 Server is filling up and I need a solution fast! Its running an old HP Proliant DL380 with 2 drives.
There is a C: drive with a 34 gig partition with 7 gig free, and the D: drive (the problem) with a 101 gig partition and only a little over 1 gig free.
The Windows 2003 Server is also running active directory, DNS, and is a domain controller. A few months ago we did bring up a 2008 Server as a primary DC, DNS and running AD.
1) What can I do to to reduce the size?
2) Buy a new server? And how to migrate email stores?
3) What about public folders?
Here is screenshots of the problem:

Also do check for the white space on the database, I would suggest you to create a new Information store. If you are using an enterprise editon. Dismount the old store -- Move the database to the new location --- Then in the new store properties target the old database which is now on the new location and mount it again. You will now come up with a new fresh information store.
If there is white space more then 25 % of database size then the database needs to be offline defragmented. (It can only be done during non-business hours as it take 4GB/1Hr rate.)
