I am running SBS 2003 with exchange and SP2. I have change my regedit to 75gb for the database size, but when I restart the Information store my event ID still says my size limit is 16kb. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to restart the server or restart any other services? Under private I have a dword Database Size Limit in GB with value in Decimal @ 75. Please help

Hi Have you done it like this article? http://www.petri.co.il/change_store_size_limits_ex2003_sp2.htmJonas Andersson MCTS: Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, Configuration | MCITP: EMA | MCSE/MCSA Blog: http://www.testlabs.se/blog

Yes I have. I am thinking I need to restart the server.

If you have the opportunity to restart, sure.. but i don't think that should be necessary Jonas Andersson MCTS: Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, Configuration | MCITP: EMA | MCSE/MCSA Blog: http://www.testlabs.se/blog

any other sugestions then?

Actually No, but have a look in the event viewer after the restart and post the error message if there are anyJonas Andersson MCTS: Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, Configuration | MCITP: EMA | MCSE/MCSA Blog: http://www.testlabs.se/blog
