Exchange information store dismounting

Exchange 2003 (SBS) information store regularly dismounts.
Heres the event message
Event Type:      Warning
Event Source:      MSExchangeIS Mailbox Store
Event Category:      General
Event ID:      9685
Date:            20/05/2007
Time:            07:14:20
User:            N/A
Computer:      YELLOW-SBS
Description:
Exchange store 'First Storage Group\Mailbox Store (YELLOW-SBS)': The current physical size of this database (the .edb file and the .stm file) is 55 GB. This database has exceeded the size limit of 50 GB. However, the logical free space in this database has not yet been evaluated. Therefore, it is possible that this database contains enough free space to bring its logical size below the maximum size limit.

If the logical database size exceeds the maximum size limit, it will be dismounted on a regular basis.

or have a good clear out and delete all the unwanted messages, etc...
You haven't hit the hard limit of SBS SP2 of 75gb, so I would simply adjust the registry to allow a higher limit, Then restart the services and everything should be fine.

Hi, we're having the same issue, only that our states the following:

Exchange store 'First Storage Group\Mailbox Store (Server_Name)': The current physical size of this database (the .edb file and the .stm file) is 19 GB. This database has exceeded the size limit of 18 GB. However, the logical free space in this database has not yet been evaluated. Therefore, it is possible that this database contains enough free space to bring its logical size below the maximum size limit.

If the logical database size exceeds the maximum size limit, it will be dismounted on a regular basis.

The weird thing is, we've already modified the Database Size Limit in GB to 75 GB, but we still get this error.  Any ideas?  Thanks.
restart the services or best restart the server after the change.

Regards
