35GB aint nuthin. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Evan Mann Sent: Friday, June 03, 2005 3:50 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Information store size
I suggest you try and reduce that store down from 35g. I had a single store around 30g and had MS looking at my systems from a bad Exchange 2003 SP1 upgrade and the Exchange tech totally freaked on us saying he recommends stores under 10gig in Exchange 2003. Of course, in E2003 you can have (someone correct me if I'mw rong) 4 storage groups with 5 stores per SG for a total of 20 stores and thus 200gigs of stores on a single server with still keeping 10gig stores. It makes sense, the bigger the store, the higher the chance for it to corrupt, which also means the longer to restore it. Offline defrags take longer, etc. You're limited in 5.5 to the single store, but if you move to 2003, I highly suggest splitting it up, there are many good reasons to do it. For now, I'd try and get the store size down (archive mail out and then run an offline defrag). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Aldrich Sent: Friday, June 03, 2005 3:25 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Information store size Ahh...

I think he said it's like 16 gigs (similar to the 2-gig limit for PST files.) I just wanted to see if that is true... we're running Exchange 5.5 and my priv.edb is something like 35 gigs right now, so obviously if there is a hard limit, it's higher than 16 gigs... that's probably counting deleted stuff that will get purged eventually. Can someone comment on this supposed "hard limit"?
