purge or delete or re-initilaise sbsmonitoring database (sbsmonitoring.mdf, sbsmonitoring.ldf)
Hi,
I currently have the SBSMonitoring database using a huge amount of space on Small Business Server 2008 (sbs2008)
sbsmonitoring.mdf 994.2MB
sbsmonitoring.mdf 611.1MB
Is there an easy way to purge, delete or re-initialise this database to get the size down ?
Regards
Michael

Hi:
In the SBS console, under Monitoring, run the setup wizard. This will clear the history so you will not have comparisons in the reports, but it will lower the space consumed.
How big is your system partion? 1.5 GB is not "huge" for this database.

Sorry, keep getting the versions mixed....
You still are nowhere near any limits on these files. If your system partition is lacking free space, either the partition is too small or there are other things using the space.
Here are two articles that explain it. Note, Please read them both to the end.

The customer's C: drive is quite small - hence the issue.
I read all three articles - have seen this about updateSBSMonitoring.sql before.
I ran updateSBSMonitoring.sql per the procedure.
It did NOT decrease the database size - it INCREASED IT !. And the log file size TOO ! (to over a gig).
Is this the result you expected ?

Not what I expected and not sure what that is about, but you will be fighting this forever. Probably better to increase the size of the system partition.
Also, "run as administrator" either wirdirstat or treesizepro to see what else is consuming space on that system.

OK - it looks like it needed a shrink as well. Database is now 120Mb.
Here is the batch file I developed that worked :
