exchange stores keep dismounting loads of space of drive

Hi,

Post the event generated during the issue.

Exclude all the exchange database folder from the anti-virus scanning.

Also check does your disks are having any issues.

Hope this helps,
Shree

This is probably due to database size lmiits.

Exchange 2003 Pre SP2 is 16GB
Exchange 2003 SP2 is 18GB, rising to 75GB with registry fix.

thanks everyone think its a restore from tape job
thank god Mc Donalds are hiring :)

lol, nice to see in the face of adversity that you can still find humour. That was a joke right?! ;)

On a serious note, you may be able to replay any log files you have after a restore from tape, if you have all log files from the last successful backup, that way you will not lose any mail with a bit of luck.

Thanks

We opened a case with MS, ended up restoring DB to another server and modifying all the users to point to new Exchange server.
