I need to increase available free space on the partiition where Exchange 2003 is located (until a new server arrives.) I have archived user's mailboxes to local .pst &amp;&nbsp;the size of the Exchange mailbox is reduced, but the available free space on the disk partition doesn't increase at all. For example, archiving reduces a user's Exchange mailbox by 3GB, but the availble free space on the partition where Exchange is located doesn't increase at all. Is there something else that I need to do?<br />
Any help would be appreciated.<br />
Thanks in advance

Archiving Exchange 2003 mailbox to pst reduces size of mailbox, but doesn't increase free space on drive
