Hi,
1st post (sorry, couldn't find a 2010 only forum).
I'm wondering if anyone can help.
'Simple' exchange setup - Public Folders - on disk shows 16Gb for the Public Folders.ebd. I have 2 main Public Folders - with a total of about 3,500 folders within them. All works great.
All my reporting tools show that the Public Folders are actually only 8.64Gb in size. Outlook also says this when doing a Folder Size request (Outlook actually says 9059623Kb)
Is there any way to reduce the file size on disk?
I used this report to check on all the folders (exported the data to a database to check it all out): http://blog.mikewalker.me/2013/05/exchange-2010-public-folder-replication.html
I've defraged using eseutil - all is fine.
White space is minimal.
Get PublicFolderDatabase stats shows the database size is 15.72 Gb (16,877,944,832 bytes) AvailableNewMailboxspace 57 Mb
I 'think' what may have happened was that when I was 'migrating' from 2003 (which ultimately was a hard copy of folders from exported PST to brand new exchange, don't remind me of that pain) I might have duplicated some of the folders etc.
None of that duplication exists now - in at least the folders that I see.
I have also run exfolders and gone through many (but not all) folders to see if any deleted items are there - all are clean - as are the deleted items in Outlook - all clean.
So, I'm baffled.
The only thing I think to do, is to export all again to PST and reimport to a new clean Public Folder setup. But, I'd rather not.
