Exchange 2003 - Automating Exmerge of large mailbox
Dear EE,
I have a query to which I hope can be answeed.
Currently we have an client with an Exchange 2003 server which is near its maximum database size limit of 75GB.
The main culprit is a journaling mailbox which is 12GB in size which captures all mail for the company on a daily basis.
I'm currently having to Exmerge this on a monthly basis to clear out all email over a month period to stop the .edb database dismounting and causing us a whole world of pain.
We are insigating an upgrade to Exchange 2010 to allow for a higer database size, but that project will be a while off being implemented.
Is there anyway to automate this clearing out emails over a month without manually Exmerging? This is a very tedious process as you can imagine.
Much appreciated in advance.

Thanks for this fella. The 2GB is indeed an issue as it will be corrupt as soon as it Exmerged.
