asked on 

Email Mailbox size has exceeded its limit.

Hi,

Our exchange 2003 size is set to 75GB,  However, the database was dismounted earlier and I received the event ID 9685, Source: MsExchangeIs Mailbox.   The database size is 77GB and has exceeded the size limit of 75GB.  It will be dismounted on a regular basis.  

Any suggestions?

It's just a matter of adding a couple of registry keys. I've done it myself it works. Have a look here:

Although the obvious answer is get people to delete/archive some damn email lol!

I don't think I have the capability of adding any more space through the registry.  I'm max'd out at 75GB.  

The only options that I know of are to get users to archive,  or upgrade to the enterprise edition.  Unless someone else has a better suggestion?

Thanks for the comments.
