Exchange 2010 Database Layout Design
My question is pretty simple, i'm sure it's a simple answer. With exchange 2010 enterprise, there is technically no limit on database sizes. I was watching Ross Smiths presentation at TechED "Designing Microsoft Exchange 2010 Mailbox High Availability for Failure Domains" And he talks about creating 100's of databases I have never come close to using that many, at most 5. So i believe i am not understanding Best Practices on WHEN to create a new mailbox database, or how many mail databases you should have based on number of mailboxes, etc. I am looking for that design guidance and best practices. Any help, dialog or links are much appreciated thank you

The answer is.....It depends on your requirements. You create new Database when you see that there are lots of Mailbox in on database and you want to split across the database etc. Gulab | MCITP: Exchange 2010-2007 | Lync Server 2010 | Windows Server 2008 | Skype: Exchange.Ranger | Blog: www.ExchangeRanger.Blogspot.com
