Exchange 2003 database size
I am running SBS 2003 with exchange and SP2. I have change my regedit to 75gb for the database size, but when I restart the Information store my event ID still says my size limit is 16kb.
What am I doing wrong? Do I need to restart the server or restart any other services?
Under private I have a dword Database Size Limit in GB with value in Decimal @ 75.
Please help

If you have the opportunity to restart, sure.. but i don't think that should be necessary
