Exchange mailstore size

Fadal... You are pushing the upper limit of recommended store size. Where the store gets that big maintenance/recover procedures can take excessively long. You might want to consider adding another database and move some of your users to the second database. Also, if you're not doing it already you might want to consider store limits and mailbox manager to help folks with cleaning up their email. You might want to discuss with your legal dept before doing any type of automated deletion of email.

Thanks

i take it you are using enterprise of course. In theory no your fine with the size as the limit is some what.

but you should create a few more database stores and move them out of the current 110gb mailstore and split them up. this will make recovery in the event of a disaster much easier as stated above.

also create another raid 0+1 volume and move the logs on their from the c: drive for better performance and reliablity.

Yes its exchange 2003 Enterprise edition on Windows 2003 Std R2 edition.

Is creating additional databases a straight-forward process? .... no changes on the user side? ... any documents you can pass me links to go through?
