Not bad for an Exchange 2003

Find the file IconCache.db in %UserProfile%\Appdata\Local and delete it, make a backup before.

I try to explain the problem with the size in Exchange but they just don't care.

Only way I found to reduce the Exchange Database was use Pst, we have a lot, and many are really big.

I put all of them in an old server, 12 years old, It works perfect, no problems since I use this system.

Why not just let Exchange get bigger? How much are we talking per user? Average and worst case?

We still use Exchange 2003 , actual database size is near to 200Gb, It's complicate recover backups with this size.

I hope in 2016 we move to Exchange Online and I can forget Pst and Exchange Backups with Backup Exec.

OMG 2003!! Exchange was so bad back then. It wasn't really usable until 2010. 2013 was a huge leap forward. 200GB is not that large for a single mailbox in 2013, but for a 2003 system that is problematic.

It's not so bad for a SMB, just one little problem in the 5 years I'm working here.

Now thanks to Outlook 2013 and 2016, they are not compatible with Exchange 2003, they are thinking in move the mail to Exchange Online.

Why do you still have XP and Office 2003... this is a bad idea even when you aren't trying to open questionable Excel files...

Company I work need connect to some old machines using Com port, with very specific software, this software It's not compatible with W7 or W8.1, so I've some old laptops, out from the company Domain, for this Tasks.
I'm using one of this laptops to fill the excel file.

About the file I get the English version, Microsoft send me the spanish version, and works fine in Excel 2013.

@scottalanmiller

The Excel have a lot of Macros It only works with Excel.

Only way I get to work is using Xp and office 2003, impossible make it works with Office 2013 and W 8.1.

Thanks you Microsoft for waste my time.

Now the file is corrupt, macros fail and don't let me see the data in the sheet.

I've to repeat all again..... JODER....

@brianlittlejohn

I need attach some Oem licence Pictures to the Excel, They say is compulsory, but I do now how to do it.

It's the worst Excel file I've seen in my life, full of errors, macros crash everytime...

I'm in the same situation that you right now, they sent me the Excel file "Deployment Sumary SMB v4.xls" to be filled.

The excel file It's terrible, have a lot of errors, always get error before save.

Amazing picture.

¿Where did you get the original?

It's sad think 30 years ago all was green and full of forests, now It looks like a desert..

Is just for Raspberry Zero or also works for Raspberry 1 o 2?

I recommend "Ublock" is faster than Ad-Block and "Push to Kindle", it's useful to send web pages to the Kindle.

Then you look at places like Nazi Germany and North Korea were the people were unarmed by the government while things were good. It wasn't until after they were disarmed that things got bad.

Nazi Germany did not disarm the people. The Nazis reversed the gun restrictions that had been there. This is often misquoted to make it seem like Hitler was anti-gun to gain control of the people. Quite the opposite.

Germany had strict gun control and removed it under the Nazis. Today Germany is among the safest places on earth and also has nearly the strictest gun control. Germany is possibly the best example in modern history of gun control directly being tied to good things and loosening it to bad ones.

In 2011 all Germany policemen shot 85 bullets

I don't know the data of Spain or rest of EU but maybe quite similar.

This was the second mass shooting in the US today and the 355th so far this year. Mass shootings in the US are truly routine at this point.

You know Europe, here is very difficult to get a gun, I've never understand why is so easy buy a gun in USA.

Can you open the file with Notepad?
