Mail store on SBS2003 - SP2 - refuses to increase 1

[HairySupportMonkey]

Hello,

Ive done this a hundred times, but in this instance, I cant get the mail store to increase.

Ive updated to SP2, exchange 2003 is on sp1

Ive edited the reg with the relevant values in the right places, REG_DWORD / Database Size Limit in GB / Decimal / 35 (GB) etc etc

but event ID 1216 still says mail store size is limited to 16GB after restarting the MSE IS service! and then the mail store dismounts!!!

Any clues?

exchange 2003 is on sp1

Exchange needs to be SP2 on your SBS Box to increase 18>75 Gb

Run the SBSBPA (Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003 Best Practices Analyzer) and it will tell you what else is missing
