how to reduce size of exchange 2013 database
Hi,
i have an exchange 2013 server. I have 2 databases. i have already move all my mailboxes to another database except one mailbox. The size of the remaining mailbox probably only 3GB. But the database size is like 49GB.
I have also set the "*Keep deleted items for (days):" and "*Keep deleted mailboxes for (days):" to zero .
I have performed a eseutil /d on the database. It only shrink to 2GB to 37GB.
i was thinking of moving the remaining mailbox and delete the database and recreate a new database. but I read about this and learned that there will be some error because if some built in mailbox created within automatically.
Pls advise

Move the system mailbox to other DB & then delete the first DB
