Cluster First Storge Database

Hi,

I have this situation

I have a Exchange Enterprise 2000 SP3 Cluster runing on Windows 2000 SP4
with only the First Storage Group, this database on a SAN Storage, suddenly
the database grows a lot, from 40 GB to 200GB in 1 month.

So I created another 3 Storage Groups and move the 2,200 mailboxes from
Frist Storage Group to the new ones.

Now, everythig is working good. I have 3 smaller databases (8GB, 12GB and
10GB), but i still have the 200GB on the First Storage Group database.

So my question is: Is there any issue if I delete the 200GB database and let
the Exchange System Manager creates a new one?
All the mailboxes has been migrated, is there anything else to configure
before delete the 200GB database?

Thanks for the support

No issue, that will work. Nothing else to configure. But I have to ask you
how long you will run unsupported for your OS and Exchange?

Cheers,

Thank you for the support.

At this moment, we are in a migration process. We are migrating to AD2003
and Exchange 2003, in a few months we are going to remove and bury Exchange
2000.

Thx!
