Free space on HD after moving MailBoxes
Hello Exchange experts, I am using exchange 2010.
I have space issues in one of my HardDrives, so I moved some of the mailboxes to a different database.
I also ran a script to remove the mailboxes from the "disconnected mailbox" group.
This was all done on Sunday (3 days ago), and from what I know this space will not show up again but the hard-drive is not supposed to grow because the free space will be used.
So far this is not happening, and my HD keeps shrinking.
I have verified that maintenance is running daily.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
David
I am not using any backup software because the data center where I host the server takes daily images of the computer.
I just need to know what needs to happen for the server to start using the space from the moved mailboxes.
I would do as suggested by Ed - determine what directories are using the space. The directory holding the database in question, in particular. Does it grow from day to day? If nothing else, you could look at the properties of the .edb file of that database,
comparing the size on Day 1 to Day 2, and so forth.
When you say the logs are on a separate HD, is this literally a separate physical drive or simply a different volume on the same HD?
Lastly, I have no idea what technology the datacenter is using, but in general, taking images (snapshots) of an Exchange server is not a supported backup method. You might want to double-check with them about that. What if you needed to restore a single
mailbox? Could you do that without reverting to a previous snapshot?
Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you.

Free space not showing after shrinking BootCamp Partition
I gave a lot of space for the windows 8 bootcamp partition because I thought I am going to install Lots of stuff on it.
After 3 months I found out that my lion partition is almost full! And I have 100 GB of free (Unused) partition on my bootcamp partition.
So I shrunk my bootcamp partition (in windows) by 60 GB. I plan to expand my lion partition in OSX so then I restarted my mac.
Next I went to disk Utility and found out that I can't expand my lion partition with the free space. Until then I realized that lion and windows have different file systems (oops.) so I decided to expand my windows partition back to normal.
Then I went back in windows and found out that the free space is not showing in disk management! What should I do next??
The free space is showing on top but when I right-click the windows partition the "Extend volume" option is greyed out.
PS I dont care about the mac partition now. Did some cleaning with CCleaner and freed 10 GByou should have asked first to get some ideas? I would have recommended Paragon CampTuneX which is designed to resize those partitions for you.
You want to have 20-30GB free space for any OS. If you were using an SSD, at least that much or even more.
I have no idea if iPartition or gpart can help you now. -
Blocks have much more free space specified by pctfree moved off freelist.
We have a table with pctfree=0 and pctused=90 and experienced high session against it. During the high session, we saw lots of "read by other session", cbc chain, and "buffer busy wait" caused by the same sql (INESRT). The row size of of an average 4K with long raw. After got the block info for the "read by other session" and "buffer busy wait", I dumped the block. The strange thing is that all the of blocks dumped are not in the freelist and the available free space is over 1K.
My idea is: When the session named waiting_a experienced "read by other session" to find the block to insert data, that block must be in the freelist, otherwise the waiting_a wouldn't try to read it in buffer and wouldn't be waiting for it to be ready. Very shortly other session reading_b which was reading the block put the data in buffer and did the insert operation, and the reading_b completed its work of insert. My dump should be after reading_b completed. So the dumped block should contain the data inserted by reading_b. After that the block was got off from freelist.
But why blocks with 0x520 (1312)and 0x104c (4172) freespace got off from freelist? As pctuse is 90, a block will be got off from freelist when free space is less than 10% of the block size, and these two blocks have much more freespace.

Nope. Oracle does not warn against using multiple blocksizes, anywhere in the documentation.
The only warnings I've seen (By Daniel Morgan, and unverified) claims that Oracle was negligent and only tested the SQL optimizer with an 8k blocksize.
I'm not sure that this is true, since it would constitute misfeasance.
I know that Oracle does extensive tesing on their new features, and the docs offer the multiple blocksize feature without reservation.
Uisng multiple blocksizes is a well established, proven concept.
DBA's have been using them for decades with IMS, IDMS and DB2 before Oracle came along.
I first saw multiple blocksized used with great success in the 1980's, and they are still in use today on many large databases.
provide a measurable idea what 'lots' constitute, and how much I/O is reduced in the shops you saw?There is load of verifiable evidence out there:
http://www.google.com/search?&q=site%3Awww.tpc.org+db_16k_cache_size
This UNISYS Oracle benchmark used multiple blocksizes to achieve optimal performance
db_cache_size = 4000M
db_recycle_cache_size = 500M
db_8k_cache_size = 200M
db_16k_cache_size = 4056M
db_2k_cache_size = 35430M
http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/WP100883
The IBM Oracle Technical Brief titled "Oracle Architecture and Tuning on AIX" (November 2006) notes that careful evaluation is required before implementing multiple blocksizes:
While most customers only use the default database block size, it is possible to use up to 5 different database block sizes for different objects within the same database.
Having multiple database block sizes adds administrative complexity and (if poorly designed and implemented) can have adverse performance consequences. Therefore, using multiple block sizes should only be done after careful planning and performance evaluation.

Losing Z10 Storage Capacity / Free Space not increasing after file deletion in BB Link?
If anyone has tried adding and removing items to the z10 via blackberry link and noticed that once items are deleted the space that should be freed up completely disappears from BB link.... don't panic. I checked on my phone and the storage space is still free 11.4GB But on BB Link I now only show 3.9GB free space so I cannot add all the files that I want to. I restarted the phone. No change. I restarted BB Link and it now shows all my free space - obviously just a minor bug.
'LIKE' me if it makes sense...
PS. The BlackBerry Z10 & PlayBook rock with the QED uPlay!I had read something about this else where so I thought i'd share my findings as it looks like I'm not the only one and someone may have a panic attack.
I uploaded around 7gb of mp3 data that i later deleted. My free space stayed at 3.9gb and did not increase but my overall space went down to around 4gb showing 3 photos and a movie trailer as my only stored items.

Guys,
We've got an Oracle VM Server 3.1.1 and Oracle VM Manager 3.1.1. We're having two repositories, which are presented to the OVM Server. let's name them repo1 and repo2 for ease of communication.
We're facing space related issue on the OVM Server, because it's showing one of the repository as 99% utilized. We deleted VMs/templates and clones from the repo1 and even tried to move the same stuff to repo2, but the changes are not getting reflected in the space usage % of the repo1 after the same is refreshed.
Please let us know, how to troubleshoot this issue.

Error 500 After Moving Mailbox To Exchange 2010
We moved a mailbox from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 through the Local Move process in EMC. That user can still access their mailbox through Outlook, but no longer through OWA.
An error page appears for after logging into OWA:
Error Code: 500 Internal Server Error. The number of HTTP requests per minute exceeded the configured limit. Contact the server administrator. (12219)
Other users (moved previously) can access their mailboxes on the same Exchange 2010 server through OWA.
We are using ForeFront TMG 2010 and Exchange 2010 with Basic Authentication.Hi,
Glad to know that you have sloved this issue.
Thanks for your generous sharing.
Have a nice day : )

OWA breaks after moving mailbox to exch 2010
All my users are on exch 2003. I build a 2010 CAS server, re-directed my webmail.domain.com name space to the new 2010 CAS server. That works fine. The
2010 CAS re-directs exch 2003 OWA to Legacy.domain.com – works great. (EX 2010 windows 2008 R2 and the exchange 2003 is on windows server 2003) CAS server running CAS and HT, separate win 2008 R2 server is mailbox server. My users are using the exch
2010 URL..
But as soon as I MOVE a user’s mailbox from Exch2003 to 2010, the users cannot open OWA. OWA logon just hangs while trying to login. users are able to login to their mapi sessions just fine.
This is happening to all users, regardless of the domain they’re in.
So far I’ve confirmed that permissions on the users accounts are set to inherit.
I’ve added domain users group (domain\domain users) to the local users group – Did not resolve the issue
I’ve confirmed that domain users (in both Domains) have ntfs permissions to the OWA Virtual directory – Still having issues…
What can we try next?
Your help is appreciated!Everything else on the CAS works fine i.e. Outlook anywhere, autodiscover, mapi, activesync, even OWA all seem to authenticate the user. then as soon as I moved the users mailbox to ex2010, all the above still work except Auth to OWA. The results of

Outlook 2010 SP1 Profile Does Not Update After Moving Mailbox Between Exchange 2010 SP2 Sites
I am working on a large mailbox migration from one AD site to another.
Exchange version at both sites:Exchange 2010 SP2
Two Mailbox Servers: MBX01 in site A / MBX02 in site B
(There is a DAG but keeping this simple)
Two CAS Arrays: CASA.domain.com / CASB.domain.com
The RPCClientAccessServer property is set accordingly. Where MBX01 is set to CASA.domain.com and MBX02 is set to CASB.domain.com
Clients:Outlook 2010 SP1
Scenario: I successfully move a mailbox from Site A to Site B. The Outlook client does not automatically update its server settings to point to the new cas array (CASB.domain.com) and continues to connect to the old CAS server (CASA.domain.com).
I have seen a few articles regarding this pointing to workarounds such as:
- repairing the outlook profile on the client
- delete the existing outlook profile
- run a script to update the prf file (re-cache's email at the client)
I am interested in knowing if anyone else has experienced this, what their solution was for a large migration and if any roll-ups or service packs have possibly fixed this problem.
I would also like to know if you have seen this affect ActiveSync devices. I am getting mixed results in my tests and thought it may be contributed toward different device types, mobile os versions, etc...
I have posted this to the Exchange 2010 forum as well, just wasn't sure where to start.
Thanks.
MikeHi,
Seems you got several replies in the thread below that you posted in Exchange forum:

Message tracing breaks after moving mailbox to cloud
I have Exchange 2010 set up in Hybrid configuration. I currently have admins that use
https://localexchangeserver/ecp to track mail messages and perform other tasks. When I move their mailboxes to 365, and try to log on to the above link, I get the error
access denied:
You have to be signed in to your account to open this page. If you don't have an account on this Microsoft service, please contact your helpdesk.
Using the message tracing in 365 just works on mailboxes that have been migrated to the cloud. What do I need to do to get this to work to be able to search on-premise.
Thanks in advance.Message tracking in Exchange Online (Exchange 2013) will track messages that have gone through the Hub Transport associated to your tenant. Message tracking on your hybrid coexistence server (Exchange 2010) will track all messages that have gone between
your local and cloud Exchange environments.
Based on what I understand, the message tracking is different between versions, so the EAC in Exchange Online won't be able to access the information in Exchange 2010 or vice versa. More message tracking info can be found here:

After moving mailbox to iCloud, iOS mail not in date order
A few days ago I uploaded a large Hotmail mailbox to a new iCloud one.
I did this by using OSX (Mountain Lion) Mail selecting all mails in the Hotmail folder Inbox and dragging them to my newly created .ME iCloud mailbox. I repeated this for the Sent mailbox
All worked great. I now have all my 12,000 emails and attachments in iCloud. Everything is in the correct order and when I open up iCloud on Safari my mails are correct there too.
When I open up mail on my iPad(3) or my iPhone 4s, the mails are in a bizarre order. E.g. the first page will show me an email from yesterday, one from a couple of years ago.
If I do a search "Load More Messages" for any particular mail or sender, all the mails pop up in the search. When I close the search, I get the same bizarre list of non date-ordered emails again.
I tried setting the phone/iPad to Fetch, Push, Manual.. all combinations to no avail.
I just tried a complete iPhone restore. Same problem.
Next step I was going to delete/re-sign in my iOS account. Bit wary of deleting the iCloud account on the iOS devices at this stage as I'm worried I may delete cloud data as well as my iOS device data. Maybe this is not the problem anyway.
Any suggestions welcome!
ThanksLets just call that a glitch.
I repeated the whole process (deleted iCloud mails first) and it works fine now -
Hello, everyone, my name is rafl
I have a problem with exchange 2013 active sync.
I have installed exchange 2013 coexistence with legacy exchange 2007, I have to migrate user mailboxes: [email protected] from exchange 2007 to exchange 2013.
but any problem with active sync connection on the mobile device after moving mailbox user. I reconfigure the exchange ActiveSync external connection domain (latest.domain.com) on mobile device replacing legacy exchange ActiveSync external connection domain
(legacy.domain.com)
the process of moving mailboxes successfully without error.
Access OWA for exchange 2007 and exchange 2013 is running normally
access mail from Outlook running normally
Certificate request has been installed and has no problem with it
The OWA virtual directory is configured for internal and external connections and different from the legacy exchange
The autodiscover virtual directory is configured for internal and external connections and different from the legacy exchange
ActiveSync virtual directory is configured for internal and external connections and different from the legacy exchange
user mailboxes are still on exchange 2007 is not problematic.
only problem with Exchange Active Sync on mobile devices, where I set up an email with android, iphone, windows phone. the error message: cannot connect to the server.
but, if I create a new user and create user mailboxes directly in exchange server 2013, ActiveSync can run without error on mobile device, access through OWA, MsOutlook, Outlook Anywhere also run normally.
only the results of user migration from exchange 2007 to exchange 2013 which is troubled with exchange ActiveSync connection.
any ideas for this problem, and what should I check on the exchange server ..?i have run the activesync test connectivity and get some error :

After move mailbox to another mailbox database the mailbox database has not free space
Hi,
If any one can help me about that question I appreciate:
- I have an Exchange Server 2010 mailbox database with 300 users.
- I moved the mailboxe to a new mailbox database.
- I have checked that the empty mailbox database did not release the free space from mailboxes moved
The question is: should I wait for the retention time be finished and the the maintence job be done?
Thanks a lot.
LuizHi
Even when the retention time expires the edb file will not reduce in size automatically. You will need to run an offline defrag at that point ... which is actually not recommended.
It would be better to move all the mailboxes to a new database and delete the old one.

Why doesn't my disk space free up after moving files to an external drive?
I have a 750GB internal HD but film a lot of movies. To free up space, I have moved my iMovie clips off to a secondary hard drive, but I have not seen my free disk space free up on my Macbook pro. Why is this? I moved, not copied the files. They only show now on the external hard drive.
I am looking at the free space in Finder > Get Info.
I have easily moved a few hundred GB off to the new drive, but my internal HD still shows as over 500Gb used.

Time Capsule full after a "Erase Free Space" using Disk Utility
Hello,
I am facing some issues related to my Time Capsule.
Reviewing my past, I had a lot of backups on this, using Time Machine and it always worked pretty well. But after deleting some backups manually to reclaim disk space, this was not exactly freeing it.
Searching in the forum here, I saw that I could mount the backup sparsebundle image and map it into the Disk Utility. This always worked greatly too both for disk checking and reclaiming the space back.
The problem starts on the last Friday when I performed the operation again, but it started using the whole free space that I had and did not give it back.
Studying the case I found that it creates a temporary folder to store the file it creates to write the byte 0 on the disk. This file actually resides in the sparsebundle image and therefore I can see the file with 200GB, for example, in the Finder, this is a split in bands (8MB) just like the backup is. After the disk gets full, the Disk Utility should delete the file properly and give me back the space safely.
Right now my Time Capsule has 0 byte free and I can't do anything on it beyond redo the the Erase Free Space operation. When I do it, it starts writing the temporary file again and the problem repeats itself.
I know that if I backup the data and really erase the disk, I'll get it back, but this is not an option for me because I want a smart solution for this.
The only thing that changed between when it worked and now is the 10.5.6 update that I made and I'd like that it's not the root of the issue.
Is there any suggestion or general stuff I could do to fix it?
Did anybody already face the same issue?
If anyone needs more details to help me out of this, just let me know.
Thanks and regards,
EduardoJust another thing to add, I'd like a good solution for this as the redo operation from Disk Utility takes around 2 days and then it just "dies".
