It looks like mail server(Exchange,SMTP) settings are incorrect , amend them and try again.

Its similar to Oracle, few of them as per my knowledge below:

Oracle--Tablespaces,db-files, segments, extents, db-blocks

SQl-Db-files, extents(8 pages),pages(8 diff types of pages, check for them)

oracle--initial extent, next, min, max and all...

shrink the log file and it will be back to around 100MB.

This is strange!

But why did you give the autogrowth size as just 50MB when ur database is around 200GB, why dont you change it to 1GB or 1000MB.

I assume something...

If you want to get rid of space, backup the trn files and the space auto. is available, if you feel you need more space then shrink the trn file,...

How about trying detaching the database and deleting it, as your main aim is to get space.

I checked it in my earlier comp., you can do that using DMV's

try to check it using sys.dm_exec_connections or sys.dm_exec_sessions with some cond.'s

you need c:\windows\I386 folder to install IIS.

Check if you have that then go ahead and install it from add/remove programs and windows components.

give a go once and if you cant then check if u can configure log shipping as read-only instead of stand by(no recovery), where you can do backups

me too feel the same, you missed '\' in the script.

Check if you can do the backup using SSMS?

Modify the maintenance plan and add a log file to that and check the file after the next run, this should surely help you.

select @@version o/p will tell you.

Let me take a guess!
