More details on Exchange 2003 SP2 Increase of Standard Edition database size

Amit Zinman photo
It appears that extending the database size on Exchange 2003 Standard Edition servers after installing SP2 will have to be done using the registry.

The default size limit will be 18GB. This matches the once popular 36GB SCSI hard drives considering typical small to medium use of Exchange. The default limit can be increased to 75GB and warning thresholds can also be set.
