Running ESEUTIL to Defrag Priv.edb and recover Gained space

Our store has reached the 16GB limit. I had users delete filesd and believe
I have about 4 to 5 GB of space
to reclaim after running the ESEUTIL to defrag and shrink the priv. I have
never done this, been doing my
research, however, I would appreciate some input on my plan.

1. I don't have 110% space avaiable on drive that info store's is currently
located on.
2. I think I need to run the eseutil with the /t switch to move to drive
with enough space to allow defrag of db.
3. I want to defrag the priv and keep it in the same location is currently
resides, just hopefully 4 to 5 GB smaller
after the procedure.

current path of priv1.edb is d:\program files\exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv1.edb &
..stm

e: drive has plenty of space.

This is my planned syntax;

from d:\program files\exchsrvr\bin\ "eseutil /d d:\program
files\exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv1.edb /t e:\priv1.edb"

Can someone comment on my plan and syntax?

Thank you,

Andrew

Hi,

That sounds correct. Don't run the command till the online maintenance has
run, then look in the application log for event 1221 and see how much space
you can gain.

ESEUTIL Hi I ran the ESEUTIL tool using the /d /p switches but it did not compact my database as I thought it would. The tool only removed roughly 200mb from the priv1.edb and 400mb from priv1.stm. Is there anything else I can do to reduce the size. I'm in the pr
