75GB Warning with Exchange 2003 Enterprise???
Hello,
Recently I have noticed that on our Exchange Enterprise 2003 server am I seeing events that indicate that the database size is approaching the 75GB limit and that the mail store will be dismounted if we exceed that limit. I thought that there was no limit with Enterprise. These events started happening about a week ago out of the blue. Any ideas? Thanks.

Was this server ever upgraded from a different edition?
Even thought the Enerprise edition does not use the limit it is still specified in the registry from a previous version. You can simply remove it or change the value to what ever size you want.

I worded that poorly. If the registry key is present, Enterprise edition will use it. You can delete it or change it.

Not that I know of. I believe that this server was always running enterprise.

I will try the reg hack to 8000 and see if that helps out. Will post back soon. Thanks for the prompt responses!
Have you had a chance to try the reg setting?
