Reducing Size of Large Exchange Databases

With more number of mailboxes and mails getting accumulated into a database, its size will naturally grow. One would think removing some of the mails may result in reduction of database size however that is not the case. You will notice little to no difference in database size even if a mailbox or mailboxes were to be removed. This is because removing a mailbox simply replaces it with white space inside the database and doesn't necessarily free up space. This is exactly why defragmenting a database becomes so important. Lets see how to achieve this
Open elevated Exchange Management Shell
First Dismount the database.
Dismount-Database databasename
Now we can use Microsoft's native ESEUTIL.exe utility to defragment the database :
eseutil /d databasename.edb
Now you can re mount the database as follows :
mount- database databasename
After this process is complete, you will notice a significant reduction in size of the database as all the white spaces would have been removed by now.
However if your database is corrupted and you are unable to mount it, you'll require a professional EDB to PST Converter to help recover data from the database and here EdbMails EDB to PST exchange recovery utility can come to you aid.
