    With Exchange 2010 Standard, if I understand correctly, there is a limit of 5 databases which can be created.  Also, the default size limit for each database will be 50 GB which can be sized using a registry entry.  Is that correct?

     

    Thanks in advance!

    Standard Edition is limited to 5 databases per server.  

    You can use Registry Editor to modify a database size limit in Microsoft Exchange Server 2010. The default database size limit for Exchange 2010 Standard Edition is 50 gigabytes (GB). There is no default database size limit for the Exchange 2010 Enterprise Edition. The Exchange store checks any database size limits periodically and dismounts a database when the size limit is reached. You can modify the database size limit by adding or changing a value in the registry.

    Hi Anbu,

    Your statement is correct but the default size in 2010 standard is 50GB.  The link below shows how to change that default value.

    Just to correct it a little:

    You can create more than 5 databases on exchange 2007/2010 standard edition, but can't mount more than 5 databases at a given time.

    Hi,

    I have gone through the Comparison which clearly states that in Exchange  Server 2007 and Exchange  Server 2010, the storage limit is increased to 16 TB for both Standard and Enterprise Server editions.

    Kindly go through the following link

    Hi Rossb,

    That is true, although, it supports up to 16 TB in standard edition, by default it is not enabled and has to be configured through editing the registry key.

    However, the recommended and best practice size of the database in Standard Edition is 50 GB per database.

    In case if with DAG (Enterprise Edition), although we can store the data up to 2TB database size, the best practice recommend size is 100 GB per database.

     

    With Best Regards Anbu
