Is it possible that "mailboxes and stuff" is a mail store which simply isn't
mounted?

Ok, i posted thisd on another board but with no help. here is the problemserver
and what has been asked so far. Please help me with this, i have only a
limited experince with exchange.
I don't know if this has anything to do with my earlier post but i think
this is the real problem
When i click on "mailboxs and stuff" i get
"the action could not be completed because the microsoft exchange
information store service in unavailable. Be sure that the service is
running and you habe net work connectivity to the microsoft exchange
computer"and
Operation: Retrieving mount information
ID No: c1041721
Exchange System Manager
Ok, but all the services are running....
I have no clue what is going on.... I am not a Exchange guy i ahve had
little exp. but was thrown into this mess. Any help would be nice...

Thank paulha

1.4 g and just over 1g
There is 3g of space free on the drive.
I need to get this fixed soon, would it be better to reinstall Exchange
grab the back ups of the email or is that worse then trying to find theSservers
problem?

Lets start from the beginning to clarify things a bit
On your exchange server, open ESM, expand down to your stores. ( normally
something like Administrative groups / First administrative group /
/ yourservername / first storage group )is
Right click the mailbox store, is the first option "mount store" or is it
"dismount store" ?
Thank paulha

You're going to need to expand your drive space. What's your server
arrangement? RAID? Number of drives, etc....

Where do you find "mailboxs and stuff" ?
Can you right click the mailbox store, go to properties this time, then
database tab. Does it show the correct location for the database
Can you tell us more about this flood of email you had, how you knew that
the drives you have were maxed out (both of them ?) and what you did to
reclaim the space
Cheers
Paul

havensov (IS/IT--Management) 30 Jun 06 11:36
ok inside of "mailboxs and stuff" is "private information store" and
information store" Does this help?you

lander215 (IS/IT--Management) 30 Jun 06 11:50
Click on "Servers", then look in the right hand window and it will tell
what version you're running.should
Wow...yes, someones named the storage group "Mailboxes and
stuff"...sorry..can't fathom that one.
Click on the "Private Information Store" and what is under that? You
eventually find your mail stores. Right click on them and confirm thestores
are dismounted (covering old ground, but lets be sure). If there aremultiple
stores, confirm they're all dismounted (they'll have the option, availableor
not, to mount).go
If the stores won't/can't mount, reboot the server, let it come up, then
to your log files (application and system) and report back the errors.There
has to be an error as to why the stores won't mount.
My bet is, regardless of what explorer is telling you, there is not enough
space to mount them.
