Exchange Clean up |
|
|
I have a 60GB Exchange database. Most of it is Videos, MP3's, and Pictures of
Kidds.
How do I scan through everyones mailbox to find these junk emails?
Is there a tool?
We have Exchange 2000 in a cluster. But I can restore to an exchange box
that is off the network and is stand alone.
Thanks
Mike

I'd use a recipient policy (mailbox manager type) and clear out mails
over 2MB in size. That will clear a good amount.
Another option you have is to run an exmerge against the store with
the various parameters set. |

I've used exmerge before. What parameters would I use?

There are some advanced properties early on (off behind the main |
wizard screens) You can specify what you want to take out there.
For you, I'd stick with the size thing and the recipient policy,
starting at a high MB number and then gradually reduce it so that it
picks up more. Doing an exmerge would be a big bang approach and the
users would notice and go ape.
Pull the stuff out softly and they'll notice less. |
