I've no clue. Wrapping transaction logs is completely dependent on how much i/o occurs. I wouldn't be surprised to wrap quickly based on a volatile environment. Regards, Michael B.

This server keeps reaching the trans log # limit every 6-8 weeks. It also reached the named props quota on 4 db's. After recreating the db's, the named props is back up to ~20000 (dont know if this is high) and i am getting event id's warning that the trans log limit is approaching. Is this normal for a server with only mailboxes that are being journaled to (a mailbox manager process runs every nite to purge the deleted items on these mailboxes, i guess increasing the # of transactions) should i be worried? is there a way to tell what is creating all the named props? Thanks very much ------------------------------------------------------- List Archives: http://www.freelists.org/archives/exchangelist/ MSExchange Newsletter: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp MSExchange Articles and Tutorials: http://www.msexchange.org/articles_tutorials/ MSExchange Blogs: http://blogs.msexchange.org/ ------------------------------------------------------- Visit TechGenix.com for more information about our other sites: http://www.techgenix.com ------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe visit http://www.msexchange.org/pages/exchangelist.asp Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------- List Archives: http://www.freelists.org/archives/exchangelist/ MSExchange Newsletter: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp MSExchange Articles and Tutorials: http://www.msexchange.org/articles_tutorials/ MSExchange Blogs: http://blogs.msexchange.org/ ------------------------------------------------------- Visit TechGenix.com for more information about our other sites: http://www.techgenix.com ------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe visit http://www.msexchange.org/pages/exchangelist.asp Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
