Just to chime in. Doing the offline defrag of a database store will make it smaller. I used to run one once a year and it always made the information store a couple of Gig smaller. I stopped doing them once Microsoft got rid of the 32 Gig limitation.

An "offline" defrag of your store can drastically reduce your size too.

If anyone finds a solution, let me know. This is happening to me as well.

I was thinking the same thing. Thanks for the input!

I have an Office Pro 2003 CD/Case that came from a broken a PC that was trashed. I need to know if this license key is an OEM license, or if I can transfer it to another PC? How does one tell? It's a standard license key of XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX Thanks.

Thanks for all your useful advice. I went ahead and increased the "NonMapi Named Props Quota" in the registry. I think the value can be up to 32767 decimal, but don't hold me to that. I figure I have another 3-4 years before I hit that max The messaged has stopped. For those interested, it's...

I'm getting a scary message on our Exchange Server 2003-SP2-Standard. Event ID: 9666 "The number of named properties created for database "First Storage Group\mailbox Store is close to quota limit Current Number of named properties: 8175 Quota limit for named properties: 8192 I have two...

This is a recently new problem for us as well. They all seem to be coming from Russia. Every week, an employee from our group gets spoofed and receives several hundreds NDR's. Does anyone know how to modify Exchange 2003 so that the SMTP does not accept ANY email from any domain with the...

We had similar situation on this day. Turns out that our server was using the blacklist site of "ORDB.ORG", which has been out of business for awhile. I removed it, and all worked well.

If you have the drive space, you can do a eseutil on your information store. When this occurs, it creates a brand new file, which, I assume won't be as fragmented when it writes it.

Oh, another thing which is important. I used to have an email address that was my Primary address called jdoe@mycompany.com I recently changed my primary address to be john.doe@mycompany.com because of spam issues. My new OWA logon address is: \\ExchangeServerName\john.doe However, when...

Depending on the type of error you are getting, be sure the user has an email address that is equal to the active directory domain. For instance, we have three email domains on one serve. 1) @company1.com 2) @company2.com 3) @company3.com Our company uses Company1 as the Active directory...

Sounds like you are in the same boat as I am. I'm not going to defrag the drive at this point. I do quarterly IS defrags though. This creates a new store, so I figure if there was fragmentation on the store itself, it would correct itself when it gets re-written.

I've been thinking about doing the same thing. Our Windows Server 2003 tells me two of my drives are nearly 40 percent fragmented. As you are, I'm afraid of screwing up the Information Store.

Yes...we do nightly backups using the standard NT backup. So I know that individual mailbox restores are not an option. If we had a test exchange server, I know I could restore to that, then move the mailbox to a PST file or something. But we don't :( I guess she's out of luck. Thanks for...
