You upgrade to enterprise!! If you cant get the limits in place to stay below 16GB, well, then you cant get below 16GB. Short of upgrading, there is no magic bullet.

My real question should have been this: What do you do when an offline defrag won't get Priv.edb filesize small enough to restart the Information Store?

I'd continue to focus on purchasing the Enterprise version. What's the cost of yo0ur labor in doing the offline defrag? What's the cost to the company in the system downtime for you to do the defrag? What's the cost to the company of the system downtime if you do hit the 16GB limit? Then compare that to the cost of Enterprise Edition. You'd best delete things from the store while it is up and right before you do the offline defrag. You can also reduce the DIR time period so things get permanently deleted sooner. Speeding up offline defragmentation: This is a FAQ - the best you can do is put things on fast storage, make the temp drive a separate spindle from the live store. > -----Original Message----- > From: Eric Fretz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, November 26, 2003 8:53 AM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: Private Store size problems. > > > My company has been reluctant to upgrade our exchange 5.5 > standard server to > 5.5 enterprise and because of this, I bump up against the 16 > GB limit about > every 20 days.
