    Hi,
    I am to clean up unnecessary space of Exchange 2010 as the Win 2008 server has only 2.5 Gb left. But I get this now.

    C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore>eseutil /MH DataStore.edb

Extensible Storage Engine Utilities for Microsoft(R) Exchange Server
Version 14.01
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All Rights Reserved.

Initiating FILE DUMP mode...
Error: Access to source database 'DataStore.edb' failed with Jet error -1032.

Operation terminated with error -1032 (JET_errFileAccessDenied, Cannot access file, the file is locked or in use) after 0.31 seconds.


    Many Thanks & Best Regards, Hua Min

    Why are you doing that?

    The best way to do what you want is to create a new database, move all the mailboxes to it from the database you think has too much wasted space, and then remove the old database.  If you don't have enough space to do that, you certainly don't have enough space to do an ESEUTIL /D, which is the command you'd use to compact the database.

    Can I have the procedure of doing this?

    1. Create new mailbox database.

    2. Move all mailboxes from the "too big" database to the new one.

    3.  Remove "too big" mailbox database.

    Run backups or enable circular logging if you don't have enough space for all the log files associated with the new database.

    1. Create new mailbox database.

    Do you mean to recreate the relevant Mailbox or not?

    I don't know what you mean by "relevant Mailbox" since no mention has been made in this thread of any mailbox.

    Hello,

    When your database is online and mounted, you will not be able to perform any actions with Eseutil.exe. So you need to dismount your database.

    It is not recommended that using eseutil.exe if there is no enough disk space. We recommend you do full backup for your database on schedule to release some disk space. 

    You can use Windows Server Backup to back up your exchange server, or use Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager, or a third-party Exchange-aware VSS-based application.

    Thanks. I am using Administrator account. Do you think I can still have a New Mailboxdatabase for that?

    Hello,

    Did you try my suggestions?

    Before you run New-MailboxDatabase cmdlet, you need to be a member of  "organization management role group"  and "server management role group" . You can use get-rolegroupmember "organization management" cmdlet and get-rolegroupmember "server management" cmdlet to check if you have been a member of these role groups.

    If you aren't a member of these role groups, please use add-rolegroupmember cmdlet add your account to these group.

    Hello,

    I mean you can run "New-MailboxDatabase" cmdlet in EMS. Do you refer to the above link on the cmdlet "New-MailboxDatabse"?

    Or you can do full backup for your exchange server as my above suggestions.

    Hi,
    I am not sure about the syntax of doing that. Is it to put the relevant ".edb" file that is from the current server, like this?

    New-MailboxDatabase -Name "MailboxDatabase01" -EdbFilePath D:\DatabaseFiles\MailboxDatabase01.edb

    Seriously, you need to get some Exchange training.  I recommend that you take an administrator class and/or buy a good book.

    This is a good one, and there are others.

    Put the file path in quotes.  Be sure that's where you want the file to go.  Most don't keep their databases on the C: drive.

    Hello,

    You should not put the relevant ".edb" file that is from the current database. You should specify a new .edb file path.

    Seriously, take a class and/or read a book.  You do not have the necessary skill set to run Exchange.  You cannot expect the TechNet Forums to guide you in each and every step you must follow in your daily duties.
