Exchange Server 2003 public folder store reached 16gb limit. &nbsp;I have been putting off the sp2 upgrade for some time and now find I have to do this now. &nbsp;First I would like to know if anyone knows of any problems doing the upgrade or is iit generally a smooth process. &nbsp;Also do you know approx how long it takes as I assume everyone would have to be out of Outlook while I am doing this and that causes many problems.<br />
Also - since the public store is full it keeps dismounting and I am unable to gain access (even when I remount it which stays for a short time). &nbsp; What I wanted to do to buy us a couple of days was to get into the public folders and clean out some of the messages to give us some wiggle room. &nbsp;<br />
Thanks for any and all suggestions / information
