Re: SBS 2K3 Standard Exchange Issue



nope, 16GB per store, single pub, single priv, possible 32GB total. Same as
Exchange Standard.

SP2 automatically raises the limit to 18GB, per store.
The 'temp expansion' possible on pre-SP2 systems is to 17GB.

The 'combination' is the total size of store_name.edb + store_name.stm.

Sorry Larry, had to step in.

I do not know if a 75+GB store can be 'temporarily expanded' to 76GB but
IMHO anyone running a 75GB store (possible 150GB total) on a system limited
to 4GB of RAM, and providing another gazillion other things, is
abso-freakin-lutely NUTS. Large stores (ie. >10GB) belong on dedicated
servers. If immediacy of mail access justifies the expense of running a
large store it also justifies the dedicated server to run it on (and that
server should not be subject to a 4GB RAM restriction, or doing another
thousand things).

Hi:

Exchange Standard, without SP2, is limited to a combined store of Public
and Private data bases of 16 GB, whereupon it will stop. There is a
temporary expansion available to 18 GB to give you the chance to extract
all those 3 GB videos that are stored there.

With SP2, and the appropriate registry tweaks, you can incrementally or
all at once raise the limit to 75 GB. Where users use the Store as a file
cabinet, it would be suicide to go to 75, as once you hit that limit your
done.

Don't now what reader you are using for the news groups, but any NNTP
reader, such as Outlook Express, is galaxies better than the web
interface.

My apologies. For some reason when I select the link in my e-mail nothing
comes up. I was not aware that there had been a respose. I think what I
will
do is to have all users clean up their mail boxes to see if that helps. I
read somewhere that at 16GB Exchange starts having problems. Is this
correct?

Hi NorthWest:

My suggestion is that you look to making an image and then incremental
images, then backing up the incremental images over the inet.

and others.

It is not really possible, nor practical to "shrink" the exchange store
except by limiting the amount of stuff that users put there. It is not
meant to be used as a file server.

I think you were given this type of advice a few days ago in this group.

Is there any way to compress or otherwise shrink the file Priv1.edb
that
resides in the Exchangesrvr directory? I have a client that is using
off
site
backup and this one file is about 20GB in size and takes forever to
backup.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
