Hi,
I have recently deployed a brand new Exchange 2013 scenario for a customer and the exchange system is working well but I have found the transaction logs are growing at an extra ordinary rate and I'm struggling to troubleshoot the issue.
There are two Exchange servers in this deployment with a WAN connection between the two locations. I have also setup a DAG with a copy of the database at both locations.
The Mail flow is good users are using the system.
This issue only applies to one of the Exchange servers where the transaction logs are being created at about 1 every 5 seconds. There are only about 12 Mailboxes in each location so I see no reason for so many transactions taking place.
I have tried to locate whats causing the issue and have tried to use ExMon but this doesnt appear to work with Exchange 2013. The only bit of useful information I have found was to use this:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2012/01/31/a-script-to-troubleshoot-issues-with-exchange-activesync.aspx
where it did show there was one particular Android device that had a very high Hit count. I have asked the user to disable the device's email for the time being while I investigate further but the transaction logs are still growing.
From the same results I also see the Healthmailbox's have high hit numbers.
The script also has a line with some 55000 hits but its user is blank. What is this likely to be?
Is there a tool I can use to help me identify whats causing these logs to grow so fast?
I have installed some backup software to run every night that helps reduce the logs and also enable circular logging which I understand will help prevent running out of space on the drive.
Would really appreciate some guidance.
Thanks
Bill
