Hello
I'm having a small crisis on my hands. Our backup is currently not working properly for the exchange server and the partition for the transaction logs is filling up rapidly. I cannot get the backup to in time since the job takes many hours and I only have a few hours left before the partition is full.
I'd rather avoid enabling circulation since our backup is not working. So i am trying to copy away the logs to another partition and truncate them manually.
However esutil /MH (aswell as /p)returns this:
[PS] E:\db\mailbox\Mailbox Database 0041861991>eseutil /MH "Mailbox Database 0041861991.edb" Extensible Storage Engine Utilities for Microsoft(R) Exchange Server Version 14.00 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All Rights Reserved. Initiating FILE DUMP mode... Error: Access to source database 'Mailbox Database 0041861991.edb' failed with Jet error -1032. Operation terminated with error -1032 (JET_errFileAccessDenied, Cannot access file, the file is locked or in use) after 20.31 seconds.
When I type in powershell: "get-MailboxDatabase –Status | format-table Name,StorageGroup, Mounted,BackupInProgress,OnlineMaintenanceInProgress" I get mounted value of True after having disabled them both from
the management console and from powershell withouth getting any visible errors. Mailflow also still flows through.
How do I force a dismount? and do you have any other notes and recommendations?
Thank you for any help.
