Exchange Server 2007 comes in two flavors, a standard edition and an enterprise edition, just like previous versions of Exchange. The Mailbox Server when talking about the Exchange Server 2007 Standard edition supports a total of 5 Storage Groups and 5 databases. Unlike Exchange 2003 and previous versions of Exchange there’s no longer a database storage limit in the standard edition. The Mailbox server in the Exchange 2007 Enterprise edition supports up to 50 Storage groups and a maximum of 50 databases per server. Exchange 2007 allows you to create up to 5 databases in each Storage Group as is the case with Exchange 2003, but best practice is to create 1 database per Storage Group. So why should you have a one to one relationship between storage groups and databases? Well primarily because you’ll be up and running a lot faster considering disaster recovery scenarios, etc.

So, my previous post was talking about Exchagne 2003...

hmmm...

are you sure your are running exchange  2007?

Yes,  We just installed it two weeks ago and that is what was shipped to us.

so are you sure that the regedit entry for the "Database Size Limit in GB" (that doesn't exist now) is the way to change the limits on Exchange 2007?

No, sorry, I am not sure... I'm not using Exchang 2007.  Hold off until someone else confirms...

While Standard edition of Exchange 2007 has an unlimited database size, the database is limited by the registry key to 50gb out of the box. You need to change the registry key to increase the limit. It is designed as a safety feature.

So do I use the same registry entry as for Exchange 2003

check this http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232092.aspx

I shall be a little lazy here and point you to the Technet article that explains the key and what has happened.

"Database Size Limit in GB" or just "Database Size Limit"  is what I set the registry entry as.

The registry entry name is

Database Size Limit

The value is the size in gb - so 50 would be 50gb.

Simon.

...because its the same value that you would add as in Exchange 2003:  http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2005/09/14/410821.aspx

This article shows just "Database Size Limit"  so I a little puzzled about which one to use.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232092.aspx   <-- this link is pretty clear, I would use "database size limit"
