Exchange SP2

[wsanchez2782]

Hi, All

After Install SP2 on Exchange 2003 Standard, I'm still getting the 16GB database size limitation. Is there anything else that must be done in order for the new 75GB limitation to take effect.

Many Thanks

WSanchez,

Your default capacity should have been increased to 18Gb by default after applying SP2. You can check the size in the event log when de stores are being mounted.

If needed, you can enlarge the databases (mail & public folders) by a change in the registry.

In order to protect your Exchange 2003 Standard edition server from unintentional rapid growth, Exchange 2003 SP2 by default sets the limit to 18GB. You can then control what the limit size should be using the a DWORD registry key named Database Size Limit in GB, which should be added under the following location HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeiS\ParametersSystem in the registry.

You find more details in the Exchange 2003 help, which has been updated by the SP2 as well.

Kind regards,

Peter
