User Mailbox size concerns
I ran a PS command to see the size of all users mailboxes on my exchange server. I have plenty of space on my server. My concern is what complications can occur because Ive read mixed things about this topic. Some people say if you have the space exchange 2010 will run good. Others say anything bigger then 4GB is to big and risky. what do you all think about this?
The CEO is the biggest by far at
TotalItemSize 16.19 GB (17,387,673,057 bytes)
ItemCount 131056
The rest of the network looks like this
3.571 GB (3,833,948,501 bytes)
6.13 GB (6,581,965,406 bytes)
6.369 GB (6,838,341,685 bytes)

This is one hyper-v exchnage server running the typical active directory no dag. dag is multiple database servers combined? If so than we don't have dag. Yes one DB

thank you. Now regarding single user mailboxes and item counts. Is there a limit or 2010 can pretty much handle any user capacity?

I've been searching for the guidelines regarding the outlook versions and the recommended OST files. Anyone know where I might find this?

thank you all for the info
Are all of these mailboxes in one DB?
If you are runnning a single mailbox server with no DAG then I believe MS reccomends the maximum size of a DB be no larger than 100gb
