I tried doing that too at my previous place, thinking that when someone wants a larger mailbox we could upgrade that person by moving his/her mailbox to the store with higher mbx size limits. But then, moving 100MB mailbox is going to take some time. Either the user is going to lose 20-30 minutes of production time or I am going to lose sleep time. It is much quicker to just go to user's properties and change the limits.

If your really worried about DB's getting too big maybe a archiving solution would be a worth look at.

Are you saying you want to limit your DB's to a certain size. Maybe I am crazy but you can only limit indvidual mailboxes sizes via property settings or policies, right?

It was not my idea. I am not sure if I would do it this way - put all execs in one basket... that's an easy way to piss off all the execs at once if something happens. -----Original Message----- From: Woodruff, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2004 10:34 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Exchange 2k3 store configs That's what my 20GB was set for. I was just wondering as far as how you split up your DBs if you do at all. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Fyodorov, Andrey Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2004 10:27 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Exchange 2k3 store configs I would first make sure that I am comfortable with backup/restore speeds and base the DB size on that. -----Original Message----- From: Woodruff, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2004 10:23 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Exchange 2k3 store configs I am setting up a plan to restructure our exchange DB config. Currently we have 3 DBs. 1 with a mix of companies that is very large (65GB). The others are 4 to 5GB a piece and are one Exec DB and one company DB. I started to go the departmental route to separate DBs, but then that idea was soon realized to created trouble since we have people who shuffle around a lot here. What are larger orgs like some of you doing with your config? I was thinking company Dbs with a 20GB limit. After the 20GB was reached I would then create a second instance of the same company DB2 and so on for all of our companies. Just looking for some input an recommendations of what is the best practice. Thanks. Michael Woodruff System Administrator inChord Communications Inc.
