Exchange datastore - white space?

I have around 300 user mailboxes on our Exchange 2010 mailbox server. All mailboxes are stored on a single data store which is approximately 1TB in size. The organisation recently signed up to a third party cloud messaging provider (Mimecast). One
of the services provided by Mimecast is mailbox archive and journaling. The Mimecast archiving process has complete and I can now see all emails (in all mailboxes) over 90 days old are no longer stored on our Exchange server, instead they're now in the Mimecast
cloud. The actual disk size of the data store is still around 1TB and we have been informed by Mimecast we would need to perform an offline defrag of the data store to reclaim the white space. I suspect an offline defrag could take several days on a data store
of this size and would have a huge impact on the business. Rather than dismounting the data store I was thinking of creating a new data store and migrating the mailboxes to this in order to reduce disruption. Once all mailboxes were migrated I would delete
the old data store. Does this sound like a viable solution?

Yep and the recommended one!

  • Exchange 2003 Reclaim White Space

    Hello Everybody,
                    I have exchange 2003 Enterprise and I want to reclaim the white space . To do that I have to do and offline def fragmentation or I can do it online but I have to have at least  110 % of  the
    free space of my database. Lets assume  that  I have a partition on 1 Tb and the priv1.edb .is 400 how much free space should I have on the server to run the online defragmentation and reclaim the white space.
    Or please provide me with the alternate solution to reclaim the space.
    http://www.arabitpro.com

    Using the solution above, while not having any downtime for the user, has some drawback because moving the mailboxes to another store break the single instance storage. ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/175481)
    so depending on the users activity you might end up with using more space than with the orignal DB after defrag. Plus, you need to be very familiar with the removal DB process of the first DB installed on the server.
    I assume that you are looking at this  because of storage space on the server.
    FYI, the online defragmentation only reclaim the unused space in your DB (space from deleted users, item past the retention date, etc...) it does not reclaim the PHYSICAL space. After a succesfull online defrag, any new items create in the DB will using
    exisiting space, once that space is consumed then the edb file will start to grow.
    note as well, that you should be sure that the online defrag as complete before running the eseutil /d (to reclaim the maximum space)
    If you can organize the downtime for your users if would recommend you to do the defrag. if you worry that the space available on the machine is not enough then run it on another machine by following this article "
    244525
          (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/244525/            )   
    How to run Eseutil on a computer without Exchange Server
    If you have a machine with better cpu/IO than your exchange server it will quickier.
    and you can also then do a simulation (from a backup copy of the edb) to give an adequate estimation of the downtime.
    If you think that is too much, just like andy was saying , let it be. as long as you have white space in your DB the edb file will not grow (the .stm might but that is another story).

  • Mailbox Database Size/White Space Reduction in a DAG

    I have several large databases in which I'm moving mailboxes off of in an attempt to prevent my LUNs from running out of disk space. As well, I have several mailboxes of users who have left the company. My questions are as follows:
    1. When I run remove-mailbox -id "some mailbox" -permanent $true, the mailbox is deleted from Exchange relatively instantly. Will Exchange recoup the white space that is left behind after the mailbox has been deleted so that the
    database shrinks in size? Or will it just start writing over the white space rather than growing the size of the database?
    2. Perataining to mailboxes that have been moved, if "Keep Deleted Mailboxes for" is set to 4 days on the database that holds mailboxes that I'm moving off, will the database hold onto the mailbox (even though it has successfully been moved to
    another database) for the duration of the "Keep Deleted Mailboxes for" setting? Or will the mailbox be hard deleted after the move completes successfully?
    3. As part of Online Maintenance, will Exchange defrag a databse and decrease the white space, thereby shrinking the database size or will I have to take it offline to do that?
    4. What are the procedures to perform an Offline Defrag of an Exchange Databse? How risky is this?

    Hello,
    To answer your questions:
    1.   When and online database defrag completes a pass on the database it will reclaim this as whitespace in the database. It will not however reclaim space on the disk by shrinking the .edb file. An offline defrag is required for that.
    2.   Moved mailbox will not be hard deleted until the 4 day retention period has past, unless you manually purge them using Remove-StoreMailbox.
    3.   Related to the answer for number 1. Exchange will fill whitespace as mailboxes grow, but it will not reclaim disk space.
    4.   In a DAG you will you need to dismount the mailbox database and run eseutil /d against the active database copy. This is a relatively low risk procedure, but requires databases to be offline thus interrupting mailbox access. It can also
    take quite along time depending on the database size. The rate of defrag estimated by MS is 9 GB/hr. Here is a reference:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/192185/en-us
    For these types of situations my preference (If disk space allows) is to move all mailboxes to a fresh database then delete the database with excessive white space

  • Get-Recipient or Get-Mailbox and "white spaces" after import user to TXT files.

    Hi Guys,
    In this week I had small task to move mailboxes from old SBS to new Exchange user. I have done this task with small problems. I decided of course to use Powershell to make my life simple.
    Step 1.
    Get-Recipient | Select-Object name, Database | where database -Match "Mailbox Database" |  FT - Property name | Out-File -FilePath c:\ex_users.txt
    or
    Get-Mailbox  | select name, servername | where ServerName -match Server1 | select Name | Out-File -FilePath c:\ex_users.txt -Encoding UTF8
    Unfortunately I had to spent some time to clean output files. After export files I noticed that something is wrong with text format.
    How can I avoid "white spaces" ?                                                                                                      

    We always want to do our filtering as close to the left of a command as possible. Keeping this in mind, the first thing I looked for was to see if Get-Recipient had a filter parameter and it does.
    Get-Recipient -Filter {Database -eq 'CN=Mailbox Database,CN=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT),CN=Administrative Groups,CN=Organization,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=mydomin,DC=com'} | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Name | Out-File -FilePath 'C:\outfile-filter.txt'
    This seemed somewhat cumbersome because it required a lengthy DistinguishedName (DN). By the way, to get the DN of a database, use a modified version of this code.
    Get-MailboxDatabase -Identity databasename | Select-Object DistinguishedName
    I decided we would try filtering with the Where-Object cmdlet much like you did in your example. Noticed that I bumped it to the left so our filter ran prior to our select - something you should always do.
    Get-Recipient | Where-Object {$_.Database -match 'Mailbox Database'} | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Name | Out-File -FilePath 'C:\outfile-where.txt'
    Whichever way you do this, either the first or third code sample should help you write your data to a text file without the white space issue. I haven't looked at your second example but I suspect you could use some of this post to figure that one out yourself.
    Let us know and good luck.

  • White Space and Centering Help

    Hi All - I'm so sorry to ask this as I am sure it has been
    asked a million times just today... I just can't seem to find the
    answer! I have the books, I have googled it.... I'm stuck!
    (obviously I'm a beginner!)
    So my question is: How do I get my webpage to "center" or
    "expand" to the monitor, and how do I get rit of the white space
    around my site??? I've looked at the code.... I just can't seem to
    figure it out!! I have Dreamweaver 8... my website is
    here... please take a
    look... any help will be MUCH appreciated!
    Thank you!!

    quote:
    Well thanks for the kind words about my site! When I view it
    in a larger-than-normal screen my page is to the left and there is
    lots of white space to the right.... thought it made the site look
    unprofessional, as I don't see other sites like this... is it just
    that the other sites I see are written with a different type of
    script?
    I should think that they are produced for narrower screens.
    My screen resolution is 1280 X 800, and I find it quite typical --
    especially for a lap top. When I opened your sight I could not see
    all of the content and was compelled to scroll to the right or
    widen my viewing window for full visibility.

    online tutorials, Google searches, and more recently this forum.
    If you want to design a webpage to fill a large screen, but
    still be very viewable for those with smaller screens, then you
    must make the content expandable. The dimensions of your content
    are all fixed.
    The suggestions that I have provided are an easy fix, but I

    over again -- well maybe not completely, as you have some very nice

  • Blank white spaces on pages

    Hi,
    For some reason, on my website it is showing some random blank white spaces? They appear to be in the same places on each individual page so I was wondering if it could possibly be anything to do with the master page? In preview mode, both on Adobe Muse and on the browser, it appears to be fine but as soon as I've put it up on to the website, the white spaces are evident and I need to get it fixed ASAP.
    My website is http://beckyofficial.businesscatalyst.com/index.html
    Although, please ignore the poor quality of my website for now; it's still under construction.
    If anybody here could help me, I'd be really grateful.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi Jadey,
    Please send your .muse file to [email protected] Add link to this forum post and refer it to me. We'll investigate the issue and get back to you.

  • White space handling dbms_xmlstore.insertxml

    Hi,
    I have a question about white space handling.
    I have a column in table which holds white space character.
    When I loading xml file using dbms_xmlstore.insertxml white space is converted into NULL and inserted into table.
    It would fail if the column type is not null.
    How do I handle it?
    ======================================================
    Alternatively, how do I insert a tag with only whitespace in it into a table?
    <Tag> </Tag> [One whitespace]
    To elaborate the question
    If I have following data in xml file ...
    =============================================
    <Rowset>
    <Row>
    <Tag1> </Tag1>
    <Tag2>1</Tag1>
    </Row>
    </Rowset>
    I have to load this data into
    table tab1...
    create table tab1 (tag1 varchar2(5), tag2 number);
    How do I achieve it using dbms_xmlstore so that I can read the whitespace in XML and load it correctly into the table?
    ========================================================================
    To use an alternate approach, I also tried the following.....
    I tried the following test program on the xml file also shown below....
    XML File is
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <ROWSET>
    <ROW>
    <SYS_NAME> a </SYS_NAME>
    <SYS_SERIAL_NUM>000000</SYS_SERIAL_NUM>
    </ROW>
    </ROWSET>
    And small procedure is
    create or replace procedure PRO_TEST
    as
    o_sys_name varchar(10);
    spacetag varchar2(10) := ' ';
    begin
    --execute immediate 'create global temporary table gt_xmltype_tab1 (xmlfile1 xmltype)';
    insert into gt_xmltype_tab(xmlfile1)
    values(XMLType(bfilename('RESTOREDIR','ADTL_SETUP_OPTIONS.xml'),nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8')));
    select extractvalue (value(x), '/ROW/SYS_NAME')
    into o_sys_name
    from gt_xmltype_tab gt, TABLE(XMLSequence(extract(gt.xmlfile1, '/ROWSET/ROW'))) x;
    dbms_output.put_line('[' || o_sys_name || ']');
    dbms_output.put_line('ASCII:- ' || ascii(o_sys_name));
    if o_sys_name = ' ' then
    --if o_sys_name = chr(32) then
    dbms_output.put_line('I found space');
    else
    dbms_output.put_line('I found no space');
    end if;
    commit;
    end;
    When Tag is <sys_nam> </sys_name> I get [] in the output(empty).
    When Tag is <sys_nam> a</sys_name> I get [ a] in the output(space and a).
    When Tag is <sys_nam> a </sys_name> I get [ a ] in the output(space a space).
    When I has some character along with the whitespace, behaviour is correct and as expected.
    But when the tag contains only whitespace the output is empty.
    I cant seem to get around this problem.
    Upon receiving empty string, other sub systems which are reading the data stop working.
    Can someone help here?

    White space handling dbms_xmlstore.insertxmlYou may replace all whitespaces with its corresponding html entity:
    SQL> create table test (v varchar2 (5))
    Table created.
    SQL> declare
      ctx   sys.dbms_xmlstore.ctxtype := dbms_xmlstore.newcontext ('test');
      doc   xmltype := xmltype(replace('<ROW><V> </V></ROW>',' ', '&#38;#32;'));
      ret   int;
    begin
      ret := dbms_xmlstore.insertxml (ctx, doc);
      dbms_xmlstore.closecontext (ctx);
    end;
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
    SQL> select v, length (v), ascii(v) from test
    V             LENGTH(V)        ASCII(V)
                          1              32
    1 row selected.

         <h2>Dog Training Testimonials<br />
           </h2>
         <p>Sending Otis to Brian for the board and train program was the best decision I ever made.  After being told Otis could not be helped and that he should be put down, I was devastated.  Otis has now been back from Brian's program for a few weeks and is extremely obedient and friendly.  He is the same puppy we brought home a couple years ago, but calmer and without any aggression.  We work on Otis' obedience daily as well as walk him and put him on the treadmill.   Thanks to Brian, our dog is happy-go-lucky and more approachable.  The list goes on and on of how Brian has helped the family, myself, and especially Otis.  If you are having issues with your dog, especially behavior and aggression problems, my advice to you is to trust Brian.  Your dog will be in good hands with a safe, reliable, responsible, dog lover that will treat your dog like his own.<br />

    The issue with that white space is explained by the use of relative positioning of your menu. Remember that relative positioning visually allows you to move an element, but that its "shadow" or "foot print" is retained in the document flow. So it still takes up space where it originally flowed in your content, and this causes the header image to position itself the way it does. Turn off the relative positioning of the menu to see what I mean. A simple solution is to set the #header to relative positioning, and then apply absolute positioning to the menu.
    There are other issues with your code. Much of it can be simplified, and you should really stop using ID selectors from this point on, and predominantly use classes instead. The use of ID selectors ought to be limited as much as you can - they force you to write bloated convoluted code.
    Try to write DryCSS (Don't Repeat Yourself).
    Here is my somewhat cleaned up code. Notice I removed and simplified most of the css selectors. Some have no css properties at all anymore. And be careful that you cannot use re-use the same id selector in your html  code: it will not validate. #program1 must become .program1
    PS as always, please backup your files before applying these changes! Dreamweaver lacks a history/versioning feature!

    You should be able to add the following snippets of css to your stylesheet to fix that.
    In the mainstyle.css file, change...
    #imgholder {
    width: 950px;
    margin-top: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
    margin-right: auto;
    margin-left: auto;

  • Keep white spaces and carriage returns?

    I'm viewing a column -VARCHAR2(4000)- in a standard report column.
    The column value contains white spaces and carriage returns.
    I put "white-space:pre;" in CSS Style, but it still skips carriage returns...
    What can I do to view white spaces and carriage returns?
    I'm using apex 3.0 and IE 7.
    Saad.

    I'm using apex 3.0 and IE 7.There's your problem...
    IE6 (and, since there don't seem to be any docs saying anything different, presumably IE7) don't support white-space: pre in quirks mode. Don't ask me why - probably in one of MS efforts to "not break the web".
    All the APEX built-in templates are rendered in quirks mode as they don't supply complete DOCTYPEs. If you are using a standard APEX template or a custom template without a complete DOCTYPE declaration you are probably seeing this quirks behaviour.
    It looks like this will change in IE8.

  • How do you get rid of white space when you are printing multiple pages to one sheet of paper?

    How do you get rid of extra white space when you are printing multiple pages to one sheet of paper?  When printing multiple pages to one sheet of paper Acrobat won't let you select the "zoom" for printing.

  • How do I remove the white space when importing a site from Flash?

    Okay, so I've dragged and dropped my created Flash site into Dreamweaver. One problem though, when I view it in a web browser (any web browser), it displays the site fine, however with a huge white space to the side of it. You'll see what I mean in this screenshot:
    What can I do then to remove that white space and make the site fill up the whole web browser? I've tried resizing it using a number of ways, but cannot seem to get it right.
    Thanks.

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    What can I do then to remove that white space and make the site fill up the whole web browser? I've tried resizing it using a number of ways, but cannot seem to get it right.
    You can do two things:
    1) Change the width of the container to 100%;  OR
    2) Post a link to your test page here (not the code nor picture) so that we can see ourselves what your code looks like.

    1) Padding is only placed on the top and/or bottom of the divs. The elements within these divs have padding on their sides. This saves you from any "box model math". Keep in mind, if you add any side padding or border to the div itself, it will be added to the width you define to create the *total* width. You may also choose to remove the padding on the element in the div and place a second div within it with no width and the padding necessary for your design.
    2) No margin has been given to the columns since they are all floated. If you must add margin, avoid placing it on the side you're floating toward (for example: a right margin on a div set to float right). Many times, padding can be used instead. For divs where this rule must be broken, you should add a "display:inline" declaration to the div's rule to tame a bug where some versions of Internet Explorer double the margin.
    3) Since classes can be used multiple times in a document (and an element can also have multiple classes applied), the columns have been assigned class names instead of IDs. For example, two sidebar divs could be stacked if necessary. These can very easily be changed to IDs if that's your preference, as long as you'll only be using them once per document.
    4) If you prefer your nav on the left instead of the right, simply float these columns the opposite direction (all left instead of all right) and they'll render in reverse order. There's no need to move the divs around in the HTML source.

    Give <div class="container"> the same blue background color as your right side bar.
    You'll notice in IE some of the spacing for the rest of your page is slightly larger than in Firefox (browsers do that a lot if you aren't very, very specific about sizes). Because of that, your side bar isn't long enough to fill in the space on that side and the background color of the "container" <div> shows through.

  • Bottom White Space

    On my website you can see that there is white space at the bottom but it ends just short of the true bottom, is there anyway I can make this so white continues down all the way?

    <div class="footer">

    </div>
    </body>
    </html>

    Well its the 'footer' <div> and the <div> before that which need some attention.
    Add the below to your css styles:
    .footer {
    width: 80%;
    margin: 0 auto;
    background-color: #fff;
    .footer p {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    Then remove the "push" <div> completely:
    <div class="push"></div>
    <div class="footer">
    <p><center>Copyright (c) 2008</p>
    </div>
    To just leave:
    <div class="footer">
    <p><center>Copyright (c) 2008</p>
    </div>
