So, I got an error today that the message strore was too big, but the priv1.edb is only a little over 8GB. Is the 16GB limit on the *.edb only, or the combination of the edb and the *.stm?? I'm running eseutil /d on the database right now, and hoping that will fix the problem, but if anyone has any other Ideas, I would greatly appreciate hearing them!!

I ran into that issue a while back. This is what I did:

Had everyone clean up and archive their mailboxes
Stopped the exchange services
Ran eseutil on the .edb and .stm
This fixed the issue until SP2 came around

Then, I installed SP2 and followed these instructions: http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2005/09/14/410821.aspx

Exchange 2003 SP2 brings us increased database size limits for Exchange 2003 Standard servers with SP2 installed.

I then upped the limit for each mailbox and set up automatic archiving.
