OK, My fault. I mixed up with Windows Server OS upgrades. Yes, you can
upgrade from Standard to Enterprise.

OK, talking to myself here:
See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;170280 - the
only limitation is if Exchange Standard was originally installed from a
BackOffice installation CD.
Doesn't state that E2K3 upgrades are supported, but boy it would be
surprising if this has changed.

Um, did that change in E2K3? In E2K you could do a straight
upgrade from standard to enterprise versions of Exchange just by running
the install.
I'd check back on that, I am pretty sure you can still upgrade
from standard to enterprise with no pain to speak of other than your
budget.

Hi Lloyd,
The best practice always is to keep the server mailbox
size to a manageable size, around 100MB to 200MB, and educate the users
to start using PST file to archive emails for future reference. We have
had experiences when you increase the mailbox sizes for users, they will
always come back for more after few months. So, housekeeping is the most
important lesson for the end users. Ideally, you have to multiply the
number of mailboxes by the maximum mailbox size allowed. This number
should not exceed more than 75 - 80% of your total drive size where the
Information store is located. If your Information store is larger than
16GB, you need to upgrade to Enterprise Edition. However, there is no
straight upgrade from Standard to Enterprise. You have to start from
scratch. Preferably by using swing upgrade server.
Regards,
Raj

Are there any accepted best practices out there for the
limits of Mailboxes sizes.
Most of our users have 100-200 MB mailboxes. I have a
couple of users who claim to need 1-2 GB mailboxes. Is there any
technological down side to allowing this size mail box. In addition it
would seem that we will need to upgrade to the enterprise version of
exchange 2003 to accommodate this (our total mail store size would be
too close to 16GB for comfort). Are there any issues associated with
the switch to enterprise 2003
Thanks
Lloyd
