XADM: Installing Exchange Server 5.5, Standard Edition, from Select CD Limits Information Store Databases to 16 GB (268000)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
This article was previously published under Q268000

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to install Exchange Server 5.5 from the Microsoft Select CD, using AutoRun from the Setup.exe program file, Exchange Server may alert you that the 16-gigabyte (GB) database limit is reached.

CAUSE

This issue can occur when you install the Standard Edition of Exchange Server 5.5. The information store databases (Priv.edb and Pub.edb) in this version are limited to 16 GB each. After the limit is reached, the Exchange Server database engine stops taking transactions and notifies the information store to shut down.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, run the SrvRmax.exe program file from the Select CD to install the Enterprise Edition of Exchange Server 5.5. The Enterprise Edition information store databases are limited only by available hardware resources.
