I have remained steady at 11.4 gigs for a week. I was not locking up at all as I got closer and closer to 16 gigs before last week. That doesn't make sense.

If you got the Enterprise edition you could bypass the limit of the 16GB.

How does that solve the problem I have today? I only have 150 users and do not anticipate the store will grow over 16 gigs again. -----Original Message----- From: Ed Crowley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2003 12:38 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Exchange locks up Buy Enterprise Edition.

What I did not know was that the 16 gigs is a total of both the .stm file and the .edb file. I do not know if the public folders contributed to the 16 gigs or not as ours only account for 100 MB. My first gripe - you would think there might be a warning message or two in the event log before it shuts down....!? Anyways I knew we were getting closer to the limit and I helped some people get their mailboxes cleaned out in the 2 weeks previous. Here are the steps we followed. Rebooted. IS still would not load. Ran eseutil Brought it online - deleted the deleted items manually and changed the deleted item retention time from 30 days to 6 days. Ran eseutil again - recaptured 5 gigs. Since that day I have the server freeze up several times a day - anyone in Outlook notices - wait a few minutes and everything comes back. If I am at the server I can't even get logged in until it frees up. I have rebooted the server a couple times - no use. The event log reports very, very little. I get a 2078 information error about dsaccess stopping, however this message comes after the slowdown and things are working again - more like a symptom of an underlying problem. I turned up dsaccess logging - no useful info there. Here is the setup: Exchange 2000, sp3 Windows 2000, sp3 dual 1.6 processors 1.5 gigs RAM Compaq proliant, Hardware raid 5 and raid 1 for logs single domain, single site, one exchange server, 150 users running Trend scanmail for exchange Installed Trend Interscan Messaging suite to block spam about 2 weeks ago - however, everything was just fine until the IS reached its limit. Any comments, suggestions or ideas on how to solve this one are appreciated. Thanks.
