The underlying programming was built for 15 SG and 6 MDB's per SG, however, practical limitations kick in with 4. All the "Official" MS documentation says that Exchange 2K Enterprise version is limited to 4 SG's and 5 MDB's per SG.
You have to remember that each SG is a separate storage engine, requiring it's own memory space and a big slice of processor time.

To me, defeat in anything is merely temporary, and its punishment is but an urge for me to greater effort to achieve my goal. Defeat simply tells me that something is wrong in my doing; it is a path leading to success and truth. --Bruce Lee -----Original Message----- From: Felicity Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2002 1:20 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: ? about the number of storage groups per server and number of stores I thought you could create 15 storage groups and 6 stores per Exchange 2000 server. I currently have 4 storage groups and a max of five stores per storage groups. If I try to add another store Exchange complains saying "the Storage Group already contains the maximum number of stores allowed." If I try to add another storage group I get a message from Exchange complaining - This server already contains the maximum number of storage groups allowed. Can someone explain this to me.
