• I just finished running DBCC ShrinkFile with the EMPTYFILE option for a 300GB data file. I created 2 ndf datafiles where the data from the mdf file was moved. The whole process took approx 16 hours. At the end I got the following message:

    "Msg 2555, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

    Cannot move all contents of file "Sharepoint_FMOInside_CRM" to other places to complete the emptyfile operation.

    DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator.".

    I think this error is normal because the file I emptied was the mdf file.
