RE: Information Store Limit

[Frank Labule]

Title: Message

If your users are like mine and won't delete anything at all forever, perhaps your best bet now would be to temporarily upgrade to enterprise which has no limit before applying any limits. Applying limits as an after-thought will create a lot of animosity towards you and will waste a lot of your time. It also needs a lot of educating and support from Senior Management.   Frank -----Original Message----- From: Lefkovics, William [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 14 December 2001 00:46 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Information Store Limit It is a viable form of email archiving.   William   -----Original Message----- From: David N.

Should I also do an off line defrag? Any thing else?   Thanks   Randy Hensel, MCP, Network Systems Administrator Coffey Communications, Inc.
