Hi Saleem,
 
Are you sure? I thought the Exchange Std limit was 16gb?

        Hello guys ,
         
        I do not know which version of Exchange did you install , Is it
standard or enterprise , Check the *.edb size if it is near to 7GB you
are in trouble may be an upgrade to enterpise could a solution . I got
this problem before i upgrade it after now it is ok . also when you
moved from exchange 5.5 to exchange 2000/2003 make sure you have a lot
of space For example if you are moving 5gb of mail make sure in temp
folder you have more than  5GB or else you are in trouble

                http://www.MSExchange.org/
                
                We are currently moving from a single Exchange 5.5
server (NT4 SP6a BDC)
                to a single 2003 standard edition server SP1 running on
windows 2003
                server standard, with all SUS deployable patches
installed. We have got
                the two servers running in the same site, replicating
etc. Our AD has
                mainly 2000 SP4 domain controllers, and the exchange
server itself is a DC
                (2003). The Active Directory connector is on the new
2003 server. We are
                in AD mixed mode due to the legacy mail server.
                
                We moved test mailboxes over OK, and I moved my own
mailbox (c.
                45MB)without any problems. However, the last two
mailboxes that I moved
                using the move mailbox wizard have caused the mail store
to report itself
                corrupted (both were c. 80MB).
                
                There is no loss of functionality in Outlook for the
moved user, the store
                will mount and dismount OK, and the event log just says
that it moved the
                mailbox. The wizard also says everything is fine when
you do the move.
                
                However eseutil /g says 'Database is CORRUPTED!' and
backups of the
                information store fail both with NTbackup and backup
exec 9 sp1 agent for
                exchange. The first time I wasn't sure it was the
migration as i didn't
                spot it straight away, but i have just moved another
box, running eseutil
                /g immediately before and after the move. Before - OK.
After - corrupt.
                
                BUT - if i run eseutil /d on the database, it completes
fine, and eseutil
                /g subsequently reports all is well, ie it has fixed
itself.
                
                And although the information store object can't be
backed up when it
                reports as corrupt, i could still back up every mailbox
without any
                problems.
                
                The only errors I have got in the event log are related
to the system
                attendant trying to access the store whilst it is
dismounted for defrag -
                I have two 9175 and two 1005 errors.
                
                Anybody seen this before, know how to avoid it or what?
Anybody know if it
                is a real problem or not?
