database file size |
|
|
Hello -
We've had our exchange server up for about a month or so now and it runs
great. I was doing some maitenance and I came across the issue of the 16gb
limit for the .edb database file. My question is, what are some good
techniques to keeping this file down, so I don't approach the 16gb threshold.
I've already read about using the EseUtil to defrag the .edb file once a
month to compact the size. Also, I'v leared to have users archive or delete
items out of their mailbox. Are there any other useful techniques to keeping
this file's size down.
Another thing, we are using Exchange 2003 Standard. Can I add another
storage group to the information store? Will this generate another .edb file
so I can have another 16gb limit across that? If this is true, are the
mailboxes load balanced across both database files?
I'm trying to get an understanding of this, so I can take the proper steps
into preparing the Exchange server, so we do no approach the 16gb limit.
Thanks in advance for the information.
