We are allowing Exchange to automatically choose which database that a mailbox is added to when a new mailbox is created. Once a database reaches a certain size, we set the "IsExcludedFromProvisioning" so that mailboxes are no longer added. This makes it far simpler for our administration team as they no longer have to worry (or decide) about which database to place a new mailbox.
We are starting to evaluate the use of Exchange 2010 personal archives. If we were to use Exchange personal archives, we would be building out a new, separate archive-only DAG and use less expensive disk to host the databases. Is there a way to have Exchange automatically create the archive on the new archive-only DAG such that our administration team wouldn't have to select a specific database? Additionally, if that is possible, how do we keep new mailboxes from being automatically provisioned on the archive-only DAG? Thanks. ________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email contains information from the sender that may be CONFIDENTIAL, LEGALLY PRIVILEGED, PROPRIETARY or otherwise protected from disclosure.
