Exchange 2003 Std store dismounted
I got a problem with one of the clients. They have Exch 2003 Std 75GB limit. They run out of space all the time, the VP has 12GB mailbox and never deletes anything. They are waiting for a approval to migrate to Exch2010.
What could be a temp solution? Does that exchange going thru that maintenance procedure nightly and dismounts or whenever reaches the space? Would that depend on logs as well? Are the logs part of the store also?
Please advice..

Another thing, if I decide to offlile defrag. I believe online defrag happens nightly.
How can I determine how much is empry 'white' space the store has and defrag would help.
I can imagine 75GB store defrag will take like all night 12 hours...

Hmm, not too much I guess. So the offline defrag would be useless I guess..

As for upgrading to Exchange 2003 Enterprise Edition. Is is as easy as reinstalling option?
As for the costs... Do they still selling licenses for it? Do I need CALs also or just server license 'upgrade'?

So straight upgrade. I guess I just need to make sure the backups are completed.
How much time would you estimate for this upgrade? 75GB store, 30 users.

Also, what I heard you still need to remove some registry key files. The Application logs still will report the DB approaching 75GB limit.
Is that true?
Is that true?
not to my experience (after upgrading to enterprise)

Got it. What about the DB limit in the registry. If I increase that number will I get more space??
