Hello everyone,<br />
<br />
I have a virtual Exchange 2010 SP3 Enterprise running on Win 2008 R2 Enterprise server. &nbsp;I have Message Store drive that is 799GB and have 201GB free space. &nbsp;I also have a separate Log drive that is 299GB and has 166GB free.<br />
<br />
Our tech vendor who assists us with Exchange work from time to time is saying that Exchange will stop when you reach 20% of the capacity of the drive and that we only have about 20-30GB left before Exchange stops on us. &nbsp;I've searched extensively online but have not found one article that supports this claim. &nbsp;I always thought that Exchange will stop receiving emails if the drive space goes below 1GB (Exchange Back Pressure).<br />
<br />
Has anybody else heard of the Exchange stopping when you reach 20% of the capacity of the drive?<br />
<br />
Does anybody know at what point Exchange will actually stop as far as available drive space goes?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
