Exchange 4-6GB Mailboxes

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I've got a new client that wants me to set up a new server for them
using SBS 2003 R2. Their current SBS 2003 server has Exchange
running. The database size appears to be near 18GB. However, there
are a couple of the packrat owners that have 4-6GB mailboxes.

Any recommendations on how to handle for the new server? I'm sure
they are going to want all that mail transferred over.

I've always used a 2GB rule of thumb and havent had users go much
beyond that.

Isn't there a total DB size limit as well?

Not quite sure how to approach this so any opinions are greatly
appreciated.


Thanks much.
