Hello Team
In my Lab Exchange 2010 DAG , having normal mailbox database (Default One) and Archive mailbox databases in the same drive
The Default database size is currently 10GB and
What happens
I moved all the emails from the users mailboxes located in default database to archive mailboxes and now Archive Mailboxdatabase size keeps increasing whenever I moved the emails from default mailbox database to Archive Database., that is natural I understand
But at the same time, I would like to regain the size of the Default database size either by running offline defragment or by creationg the new database and move the mailboxes form the current default database to the new database.
I understand, offline defrag requires the DB offline and may take some time , but which is the best way since both the DB’s are located in the same drive
Best practice is, creating the new database and move the mailboxes form the current default database to the new database. – am I right
How do I defrag in DAG – in case of worst scenario
Please suggest
