Reduce the Private store file..

[dfgu]

My private store file is huge and it's taking up too much space on the Hard drive. To the point that i have less than a meg left. I tried deleted a lot of user accounts that dont exist anymore and cleaned out a lot of users' mailboxes (probably over 2 gigs worth), but yet, the private information store file is still the same size? What do I do to reduce the size of the priv.edb file?

Thanks in advance..

Offline defrag using ESEUTIL. You're going to need some more disk space temporarily, though. ESEUTIL can use a network drive, but it's very slow - better to hang an external disk array off the server for the day you do the work.

Sorry.. I'm a lil new to exchange... Where do I find eseutil? and any recommendations on using it?

THanks.

MS website has a fountain of information as does this forum. Just run a search for it.
