10 © January 21, 2004 Novell Inc, Confidential & Proprietary 10 Spring Cleaning How can the data be reduced? Old messages and other rubbish Those who have ceased to be… Off Line Defrag DataOrderUsers

11 © January 21, 2004 Novell Inc, Confidential & Proprietary 11 Deleted Item Retention View server space used by deleted item retention Open Performance Monitor, Add, select the Exchange server. In the Performance Object box, select MSExchangeIS Private, Total Size Of Recoverable Items. For the Public Store, select MSExchangeIS Public as the Performance Object You can also use the Exchange Administrator program to look at deleted items. Exchange Administrator program, server, Private Information Store, properties. On the Mailbox Resources tab, click Columns. In the left pane, select Deleted Items K, click Add, and click OK. You'll have a sortable column that displays the amount of space that deleted items take up in each mailbox. For the Public Information Store: Exchange Administrator, properties of the Public Information Store, and follow the same as above.

12 © January 21, 2004 Novell Inc, Confidential & Proprietary 12 Purge! Open the Exchange System Manager, the Mailbox Store, and right-click the Mailboxes view. From the context menu, select Run Cleanup Agent. When an icon of a mailbox with a red X over it replaces the normal mailbox icon, right-click the mailbox, and select Purge. PURGE

13 © January 21, 2004 Novell Inc, Confidential & Proprietary 13 That Old Chestnut “Yes, I’ll be at the meeting in 20 Minutes” I have cleared out all of my old mail… 27 From: To: Subject: Message: Thursday November 27 th 1997 Yes, I’ll be at the meeting in twenty Minutes. Lookout E-mail mbambrough@novell.com kida@msn.com Important Meeting NOT!

14 © January 21, 2004 Novell Inc, Confidential & Proprietary 14 Simple But Brilliant “Live Data” and how to get it Full backup of each user’s mailbox (not the Site) Test restore of individual messages Force delete all messages over 60 Days Hot Telephone!!! Busy time… Restore individual messages as requested. But NEVER restore “All Messages”

15 © January 21, 2004 Novell Inc, Confidential & Proprietary 15 Reduce the Database The database file sizes will not shrink after mailboxes are deleted or removed. The data will be deleted and the space will be reused, but the Exchange Server computer will not reduce the file size online. To reduce the file size, it is necessary to take the system offline and run an offline defragmentation on the Priv.edb database. If the services are stopped immediately after the deletion is finished, the file size may not be reduced by the offline defragmentation process. This is because, when a mailbox is deleted, it is only marked for deletion. Data deletion is done by a background thread and space is not freed up until after the background process has deleted the data. To reclaim the space after the deletion of several mailboxes, wait for at least ten minutes before stopping the Information Store service. Then defragment the database offline using the command ESEUTIL /d.

16 © January 21, 2004 Novell Inc, Confidential & Proprietary 16 Reduce the Database DEFRAGMENTATION (D) DEFRAGMENTATION/COMPACTION: DESCRIPTION: Performs off-line compaction of a database. SYNTAX: ESEUTIL /d [options] PARAMETERS: - filename of database to compact, or one of /ispriv, /ispub, or /ds (see NOTES below) OPTIONS: zero or more of the following switches, separated by a space: /l - location of log files (default: current directory) /s - location of system files (e.g., checkpoint file) (default: current directory) /b - make backup copy under the specified name /t - set temp. database name (default: TEMPDFRG.EDB) /p - preserve temporary database (i.e., don't instate) /o - suppress logo NOTE: The switches /ispriv, /ispub, and /ds use the Registry to automatically set the database name, log file path, and system file path for the appropriate Exchange store.
