Low Disk Space- priv1.edb and stm does not decrease after de

My exchange 2000 sever is low on disk space, only 500MB left. I had the
users deleted old emails or move to pst and have move some mailbox to another
exchange server. But the priv1.edb and priv1.stm still stay the same. It
does not decrease. All I can delete now is the log file. All other files is
needed. What can I do to decrease the edb and stm?

I'm running ex2000 enterprise w/sp1 on win2K sp4.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You will need to run eseutil to perform an offline defragmentation to shrink
the database. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;192185

Before you do that look for event 2112 in the application log - this event
will tell you how much space can be gained.

Remark that you must have space available on another disk (110 % of the
databae size) to be able to defrag.

Don't delete any logfiles. These should be purged be an online backup of the
information store by an exchange aware backup program.
