FYI - one of the reasons to put the journal mailbox(es) on a different database (different sotrage group, really) is so the database and logs can be on a different disk group than the mailboxes being journaled.
You didn't say how many mailboxes are being journaled...if it's a few hundred, the performance stuff might not be a concern. If it's thousands of mailboxes, I've often done a small, dedicated server for journaling mailboxes (usually regulatory requirements made it worth it for that peace of mind). --James On 6/23/09, John Hornbuckle <john.hornbuc...@taylor.k12.fl.us> wrote: > Do you have an article where MS talks about this for Exchange 2007 (the one > below is for 2003, and doesn't mention putting the journaling mailbox in a > separate database unless I'm overlooking it.) > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Tom Kern [mailto:tpk...@gmail.com] > Sent: Monday, June 22, 2009 8:36 PM > To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues > Subject: Re: Exchange 2007 SP1 Journaling Question > > http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996802(EXCHG.65).aspx > > Its smart enough to not journal twice > I was speaking more to the db overhead of having both recipient AND > the journal mbx on the same db > > > > On Mon, Jun 22, 2009 at 7:25 PM, John > Hornbuckle<john.hornbuc...@taylor.k12.fl.us> wrote: >> But I would assume Exchange would be smart enough to know not to journal >> the journal mailbox. >> >> The other weird thing is that looking online at various journaling >> tutorials, a number of them don't mention this.
