Just my opinion, but don't let it hit 15gig. When your that close to the limit all it would take is one little opps by a user to kill you. Several years ago we hit the 16gig limit in 5.5. It was a very very long night on the phone with Microsoft. I would go ahead and upgrade or bring up another server, which is what we did to get us by until going to 2000.

Also I have win2k server and exchange 2k. Do you think it would be a good idea to upgrade 2003 server and exchange 2003 sp2 . Any thing to look out for on the upgrade. Both server and exchange reside on 1 computer Thanks jeff _____ From: Mark Fugatt [mailto:markfu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, January 20, 2006 10:41 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: 16gb standard limitation http://www.MSExchange.org/ Total of the EDB and STM files.
