Storage out of space on Exchange server 2003, How to fix?

1) explained here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/821915/en-us
but also this one is a must read: http://www.msexchange.org/articles/Exchange-log-disk-full.html
2) Other than using maintenance agent, I think educating users is the only possibility
3) Unfortunately there is not a built-inmethod to do this.

1) as elbereth21 - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/821915/en-us
2) You can use an offline defragment of the database - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/192185
3) Look at buying something like Exclaimer - www.exclaimer.com 

The reason your log files are filling-up, is because you didnt do a proper full backup.

Please use ntbackup / BackupExec - to run a Full Backup (and flush logs)
This will reduce your space issues.

Also on c:drive (if that is where your exchange is installed..)

Go to
%tmp%
c:\temp
c:\windows\temp
c:\windows\softwaredistribution\

and delete all contents from there.

then run
start > run > cleanmgr
and clean up your c:\ drive

Other experts have handled the first 2 question, as far as point # 3 is concerned, use this

>> No.
Circular logging trashes exchange transaction logs.
Ex Trans logs are used for exchange recovery.
