Exchange 2003 store unmounts everynight

We have exchange 2003 running on SBS 2003. For the past month, when we come in the morning the Exchange mailbox store is unmounted. When we mount it back, it mounts without any issues. I looked at event logs and could not find much. This happens for most days of the weeks and may skip a day or two per week, but it has created real  problem. I had run isinteg on it about a month a go or so, but it did not help.

there is no reason why you should not be using Exchange 2003 Service pack 2

Great,
I just found an event log for store reaching its limit. I think I might have done exchange service pack2 and may only need to do the registry edit. How can I check to see if exchange service pack2 was installed. ?
In Exchange System Znanager navigate to Administrative Groups > First Administrative Group > Server and then in the window on the right you will see your server.

It will tell you here what version the server is.

You followed the instructions in the link I previously sent you ?

Thank you all for your help. It sure had to do with the database size and the fact that service pack 2 was not installed.
