My E2010 database is 435GB, and we are running out of disk space on the database LUN and I'm looking for ways to reclaim this space in an efficient manner.
Right now I'm moving mailboxes, but I don't think (in SP2) the space is reclaimed until a full backup is done.
To save time, I'm thinking of reducing the duration deleted items are retained, disabling indexing of data, and possibly compacting the database when everything is done (online maintenance, etc)
What is the effect of disabling the index on a live E2010 database? Will outlook automatically perform searches locally?
