Question : Exchange 2007 database size exceeded 250GB...

Hi guys

Our exchange 2007 size limit has exceeded 250gb, which is the default for SP1. However, I am having real difficulty in finding which registry folder I have to create the DWORD value, because everytime I type the following command:

Get-MailboxDatabase -Identity "<server name>\<database name>" | Format-Table Name, GUID

I get the error I've put in the picture from the Shell. Am I entered the details incorrectly? Also, maybe you can look and let me know from the first picture and the names of the storage group and database, whether I've entered it correctly?

Thanks
Y

Answer : Exchange 2007 database size exceeded 250GB...

You could write a custom function such as the one I've put together below.. Add more bits in the 'Select Case' section to decode more characters.
