It was 50gb soft limit in RTM, and then increased to 250gb in SP1. With Exchange 2010, it looks like they have gone back to an initial soft limit of 50gb!

If you are going to run higher than the default - put the key in. You are seeing a "default value" warning. Regards, Michael B.

After running a backup, clearing the files, and rebooting mail was flowing again. However, I am now seeing messages that we are past the 250gb database size limit. >From what I have Googled, Ex07, with SP1 has a 250 GB limit. But if you remove >the Reg Key, this removes the limit. So far, the DB has not dismounted. I >checked, and neither DB has the reg key listed. Is this true? Do I need to worry about the DB discounting?
