Ahh tough situation. Had this happen to a client where his disk space
filled up. Was on really old hardware out of support type deal could
not extend disk. Got enough stuff off the disk to at least get the DB
to mount, isolated the Exchange server so users could not send any more
data, than admin went in and archived users mail, deleted MBs not being
used all that good stuff then ran offline defrag. Here is some good
docs here that you may find of interest. It's made for small shops that
really don't have a good monitoring system in place. But here are some
docs on how to ensure the health of your Ex and AD environment
basically health checks weekly/montly so you can be more proactive.

Thanks James, I am using AVG. Up to this morning there had been
nothing in the event logs, then it became apparent that the priv1.edb
file had reached its maximum size of 16GB, I went into registry and
told exchange to use 17GB temporarily, then disabled all services,
rebooted, dismounted mail store, re-enabled all services and everything
was working again.
Incidentally, during monitoring I noticed that the hard disk space was
disappearing at a rate of 1MB each refresh by constantly refreshing the
page. This activity I didn't see again after I got the server up
again. I am going to look at upgrading to Exchange 2003, sooner rather
than later.

What AV suite are you running? You tried disabling all your AV suite
and that plug in that you mentioned in services and still doesn't work?
Try disabling these services, then restarting your Exchange services if
you haven't tried that.

Hi folks

I am really hoping someone can help me out here
I am running a windows 2000 server with exchange 2000. The server is
partitioned as follows; C:\ 5.13GB, D:\ Exchange 49.2, E:\ 49.7, 32.2GB

unallocated. I had the AV originally on C:\ but moved it to E:\ this
morning. There is also a plug-in for exchange installed as part of the

AV suite.
Users can send ok, the problem is in receiving email. I looked at ESM
and in POP3 current connections it shows a list of users trying to send

email


If I reboot the server, everything is fine for a while and then the
problem recurs. There doesnt seem to be a problem with any of the
Exchange services, at least not in application or system logs. Also I
set up a contact earlier and am forwarding email to it and that is
working ok...I have tried disabling the email scanner in order to rule
that out, same problem exists even when it is disabled.


I have rebooted the server, restarted services etc, nothing works
except for a short time and then back to this problem


Anyone got any thoughts on how to resolve this issue?
