Ah yes, the dreaded 16 gig limit. How well I know it. I had the same issue (even with E2K). When it happened to me, I had to run an off-line defrag. Then, I was finally able to convince my boss (and he his boss) to establish storage limits. They really should upgrade. If not, you're looking at mailbox limits and then pst's for those people who don't want to get rid of the any of their email. And after that, some may hit a limit on the pst size. Ugh. Real PITA. It finally got to be too much and we got the $ to upgrade to Exchange 2007.

I just got a call that their Exchange 5.5(I know I laughed too.) server reached the 16GB Information store limit and dismounted.Does the Registry entry for expanding the database to 17GB work for this version of Exchange or does that only apply to Exchange 2000? Is defragging my only other option?
