Exchange 2003 SP2 - Can I compress
Posted on 2011-03-09
Hello - We made some company wide changes and as a result, our Exchange use has decreased as well as the .edb size. At least I thought the .edb size should be smaller. We were pushing about 20GB and now when all individual mailbox sizes are added up it should only be about 1.5gb. But the priv.edb is still showing 20GB. The bBackup software also thinks it's 20GB too. Is there a way to compress the priv.edb file to reflect it's true size. Thanks in advance.
